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.

Plus500's own security settings list sixteen internal development and testing servers inside the production app, information that should never ship to customers. A third-party analytics tool can also record your trading screen, including your account balance and open positions, and the company offers EU customers 1:300 leverage through a Seychelles entity, ten times higher than the 1:30 cap EU regulators set for retail traders, simply by routing the same trade through a different branding.
