Permanent Disclosure Ledger

The discipline, demonstrated

On behalf of our research partners, we investigate publicly distributed Android and iOS apps: we decompile them, follow their code and data flows, and trace every connection to the servers it reaches. Hundreds of agents work through each app and join the technical evidence into one picture, which our specialists then review and verify.

387+
Android/iOS apps audited
Every app is decompiled at source-code level, not just scanned from outside.
1.04M+
Smali classes read
The full shipped code we have actually read, not an estimate.
262+
Critical findings recorded
Confirmed findings copied to regulators, not theoretical risks.
970+
Weak points found
Third-party tracking we have provably found inside the binary.
567+
Endpoints investigated
Real servers and countries where data actually flows.
132+
SDK instances mapped
Reusable libraries correlated across the entire corpus.

Critical
Alibaba's app trusts any certificate an attacker tricks you into installing and specifically allows unencrypted connections to Chinese public-security websites. When pressed, Alibaba gave the least substantive reply RFI-IRFOS has received, and its fix claim turned out to just relocate the problem somewhere unauditable.
Alibaba's app trusts any certificate installed on the device and cleartext-whitelists Chinese police .gov.cn domains. Its Data Protection Team called this "already in line with" required transparency, the least substantive reply in a 200+ company campaign. A later fix claim just moved the domain whitelist to an unauditable server-side interceptor.
