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.

Merge Chicken was rated suitable for all ages, but secretly ran a real-money casino underneath, pre-filling stored card numbers and asking for security codes with no identity checks. Google removed the app from the Play Store after RFI-IRFOS reported it.
RESOLVED, removed from the Play Store. A PEGI 3 game secretly ran a real-money online casino: pre-checked card storage, CVV requested, cleartext HTTP transactions, no KYC, gambling payload delivered dynamically via Firebase Remote Config. Google confirmed removal five days after the report, RFI-IRFOS's first confirmed takedown.
