We decompile publicly distributed Android and iOS apps and trace their data flows to real endpoints in real countries. We document what we observe, distinguish verified findings from interpretation, and preserve the evidence behind every conclusion. No company can buy a better result — every organisation is held to the same standard, whether it pays us or not. This permanent disclosure ledger puts that principle into practice.
Every app is decompiled at source-code level, not just scanned from outside.

RESOLVED
CRITICAL
AutoScout24 explicitly permits unencrypted connections across all of its European country sites, on a car marketplace where people submit financing requests and disclose their credit situation, meaning that financial data can be intercepted by anyone on the same network. The app also reads your phone's fixed hardware identifier every time it starts and launches three separate tracking systems before you have given consent.
