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.

Critical
Trip.com sends scanned passports over unencrypted connections in its primary use context, airports and hotels, and that data plus other user information flows through five separate companies, all independently obligated under Chinese law to cooperate with state intelligence requests, without the safeguards the EU requires before this kind of sensitive identity document leaves the EU for a country with no adequacy protection.
ctrip.english. All nine findings re-scored under CVSS v4.0. Five independent processors (Tencent, Ant Group/Alipay, Baidu, Huawei, UnionPay), each individually subject to PRC National Security Law Art. 7, plus a controller majority-owned by PRC shareholders, reaches CRITICAL on the computed CVSS score alone, no editorial escalation needed, correcting an earlier internal description naming different entities. Cleartext HTTP on passport-OCR data and Adjust SDK IMEI+multi-OEM fingerprinting both reach HIGH on computed scores alone. Six further findings correct to MEDIUM. Twelve messages sent across 92 days, seven of the first eight bounced outright before the address began accepting mail, zero reply of any kind ever received.
