Looked for an app on mobilism. And a comment said something suspicious.

App name: Seven

Uploader: Balatan

About an year ago I searched on reddit about, If mobilism is safe or not. And lot of people said that it’s safe. And some people even mentioned above mentioned uploader Balatan to be trustworthy.

I don’t know how much true is that comment.

I am not an expert in digital forensics. So, I just leave it to your eyes.

    Any modded app provided for free by some rabdom uploader is suspicious. You cannot blindly trust any platform. If you care about your privacy and your device’s security you should analyze the app’s content in depth or buy the app (or crack it yourself, but it usually means you need to buy the app first).

      Don’t spread FUD. Educate, instead.

      We gain nothing by promoting fear in a mask of “caution”.

      Teach others how to be confidently aware. Hopefully that’ll inspire them to share this newfound knowledge with others, and properly. 🙇🏼‍♂️

        Show us the way then.

        I do not promote fear, and commented about my opinion on blind trust.

        If you want any help reverse engineering apps or analyzing their behavior I would be happy to share my knowledge.
