I've seen this for _years_ already - it might also be because of a bit of an app usage difference, where the people that typically do these writeups or browse HN don't install the shitware on the app stores that do these things, except for rare common cases like large communications platforms (Snap) Many Asian mobile games run malware DRM like this - https://www.wellbia.com/home/en/pages/xigncode3-for-android/ https://www.wellbia.com/home/en/pages/xigncode3-for-android/ They are incredibly invasive and insecure, exfiltrate tons of PII (location, private IP, mac, ...) where possible unencrypted to bare IPs in various countries.
