TapTrap: new attack on Android that lures you into performing actions you did not intend to do. This allows an app to access your camera or location, or erase your device—all without your consent. in c/cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works

@floofloof "TapTrap works even on the latest Android version, Android 16. We reported this issue to Google and major browser vendors in 2024. Browsers have fixed the issue as of July 2025, but Android itself remains vulnerable (see the disclosure timeline for details)."

@sugar_in_your_tea @cm0002 That's the thing: Microsoft Store allows you to download Epic Games Store, Battle.net and Ubisoft Connect from their store. I don't see anything bad with being able to download F-Droid from Google Play, as long as there's a way to protect it from impersonators or malicious apps.
