[…] > For this new analysis of the code, a source provided a copy of the Anom APK as a standalone file which Motherboard then decompiled. This doesn't add up. The code snippets they show are decompiled obfuscated Java. But compilation->decompilation wouldn't have preserved comments from the original source code. Sometimes Java decompilers spit out chunks of code they don't understand as commented-out sections for manual analysis. Maybe Motherboard is misinterpreting this output? And, yeah, decompiled Java is gonna be messy, especially if the compiled code was obfuscated, as looks to be the case here.
