Hidden pirate features within seemingly harmless apps, known as “stealth apps,” are slipping past Apple’s App Store security, offering users access to pirated movies and TV shows. Taiwan’s Criminal Police Bureau recently busted three individuals promoting unlock instructions for these apps to roughly 400,000 users. Surprisingly, this tech-savvy scheme was orchestrated by a group whose combined age totals 215 years.
Interesting piece, didn’t know about iOS stealth apps, and the ages of the accused certainly makes the news stand out —
— but can we talk about that hilariously bad “AI” generated picture they chose to illustrate it? That hand left of centre holding up the “iPhone”?
WHO WAS PHONE? 😄
Back in the day Apple used to not allow tethering. I remember downloading a flashlight app some teen put out that had tethering buried in it years ago lol it was great
