Supposedly HSBC is blocking people who downloaded Bitwarden from F-Droid instead of the “official” play store
Discussion
Putting "official" in quote marks isn't really calling out the bullshit directly enough
F-Droid is not in any way and unofficial app store, they only have apps the developers have used their store to publish
*an
tightening up for sure
oh is the largest money laundering operation in history worried I put the wrong app on my phone?
gfy
we will see more of those false "warnings" in future. Prepare to boycott :EZ:
Has anyone checked the hashes on the Play store version? This warning makes me think there's a compromised version on Google.
I'd put all banking apps in a separate profile. They do all they can to break the sandbox. They are hostile software.
you dont need a bank app to do fiat banking.
Unbelievable!
It is really becoming impossible to be private...
I already have two phones, one with all the "good boy" apps and my work related stuff and then a secon with "my stuff" obviously running Graphene OS
A real example. A major bank suspended mobile banking access because a user installed a password manager from outside the approved app store funnel. No malware. No breach. Just deviation. This is access being revoked because control was never yours to begin with. The bank did not assess intent or outcome. It enforced policy. That is how modern infrastructure works. You are allowed to use the system only while behaving exactly as expected.

On #grapheneos the bank app would have zero visibility on other apps on the phone. nostr:nprofile1qqs9g69ua6m5ec6ukstnmnyewj7a4j0gjjn5hu75f7w23d64gczunmgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z786xdyf plus nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0h3gy93 ftw
On GrapheneOS the app would probably run PlayIntegrity checks that fail and stop working.
Banks are just a tentacle of the surveillance state.
Holy shit!!
