In India there was an incident yesterday, talk about being careless. A covid tracking app which was promoted in every media, paper and they even changed caller tune of entire nation to let people know and download the same app.

Kinda didn’t surprise me doe

What’s worse is that QR code, it looks horrible

@example-user ditto

@yowhatthefuck who developed it is not the issue here. The fact that an app that is being used by millions of people in India and heavily promoted by government, they cannot answer who developed it for them in the first place. They didn't had any information about the developer.

This right here raises questions and concerns. What if the developer group/company was not trustworthy or they were using app maliciously to gather info. Possibility is endless but in short, government should've had the answer when questioned about the app.

That heart has a huge boner - so the app must be really sexy.

Reminds me of after notebandi when a million fly by night e-wallets popped up in India and so many of them had gaping security flaws (http-only web login on an e-wallet site was my favorite).

Eventually the police had to tell people to avoid public WiFi, and even judges ended up losing lakhs of money in the scams
