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.

Roblox, used by hundreds of millions of people every month including large numbers of children, answered ten separate formal privacy disclosures with the exact same automated message redirecting to its bug-bounty program, never once engaging a human with the actual child-protection findings.
com.roblox.client. All findings re-scored under CVSS v4.0. A full-contact-book upload from a majority-under-13 platform, no visible age gate, reaches HIGH on the computed score alone. Behavioral ad profiling via the Topics API and a child-status flag passed via JNI to 8M+ game creators, both computed MEDIUM/6.9, held at HIGH under blast-radius escalation given Roblox's confirmed majority-under-13 user base. Dormant Tencent/QQ endpoints correct to MEDIUM. Ten messages sent on a sustained weekly cadence, ten identical automated "report security bugs → hackerone.com" replies, zero substantive human reply ever.

This ledger is updated in real time as companies respond. Silence is public. Severity is scored primarily by CVSS v4.0, we reserve the right to deviate based on blast radius.
