Iran (IMNA) - The app was released and made available through a dedicated website, the official Play Store, while the country is in the midst of a national health crisis caused by the novel COVID-19 coronavirus.
Before being removed from the Play Store, there was some wrong claims that by installing the app, it is possible to collect phone numbers of citizens then reach their real-time geo-location data as espionage goals!
Lukas Stefanko, an Android malware researcher at ESET, told the business technology news website ZDNet that:
"Based on the analysis of the app's APK, the app is not a malicious Trojan or spyware," Stefanko told ZDNet earlier today.”
Sources familiar with Play Store policies told ZDNet the app was most likely pulled the app because of its misleading claims -- namely that it could detect COVID-19 infections, something that is impossible through an apps!
