That.. is not a study by anyone who knows what they are talking about. It also does not mention fingerprints at all.

They seem to believe that the app can use permissions undeclared in the manifest file because they obviously think it's only for the store to show the permissions to the user. Android will not actually allow an app to use undeclared permissions. The most rational explanation is the codebase is shared with different version of the app (possibly not released) that had different manifests.

It also makes a big deal of checking if running as root. That is not evidence of having an escalation exploit. If they have an ability to get root before running the app why would they need to use the app to exploit it? They could just do whatever they wanted and avoid leaving traces in the app. Though I doubt they would root phones to just brick them. It's the kind of mischief you would expect from a kid writing viruses, not an intelligence agency or criminal enterprise.

Users who root their own phones are very unlikely to run temu as root. In fact a lot of apps related to shopping or banking try to detect root to refuse to work as your system is unsafely. In any case it's a very niche group to target.

To keep things short, that 'study' does not really look credible or written by actual experts.

With the context of piracy in mind sites located beyond your own country's authority are a better choice as they are less likely to cooperate.

Of course unless you take measures your isp will know you 've been accessing that site. Additionally even though the domain is normally under Russian control your country's authority can actually order your ISP to have it's DNS direct you elsewhere.

Didn't you shoot university students for protesting the Vietnam war?

HP bricks ProBook laptops with bad BIOS delivered via automatic updates — many users face black screen after Windows pushes new firmware ( www.tomshardware.com )

On May 26, a user on HP's support forums reported that a forced, automatic BIOS update had bricked their HP ProBook 455 G7 into an unusable state. Subsequently, other users have joined the thread to sound off about experiencing the same issue....

Which is better than bricking a machine

As an American, I feel like this is somewhat familiar, and would have negative consequences.

Fucking poetic

Frankly " injecting a command after shell-metacharacters" makes it sound much more mystical and arcane than"just use the normal one liner syntax to run 2 commands"

Copyright holders.

Coffee itself is addictive though.

Maybe it affects BSD and MacOS.

It also can affect some Linux systems based on configuration. Android doesn't implement the exploited standard at all and is always immune.
