⚡️🚨 NEW - HSBC blocked a customer from using its mobile app after detecting the Bitwarden password manager, installed via F-Droid, on the user’s phone.

Reminder: apps can see what else is installed on your phone. Your bank app knows which Bitcoin tools you use.

Been saying this for a while - whatever we use is I N C O N S E Q U E N T I A L

We need better overall solutions that are at a Nation State firewall level too. Individual moved ain't gonna cut it.

They'll

(1) block access

(2) forgot/wrong password

(3) suspicious cloud flare

(4) can't pass the Captcha,

their way out of things.

So your solution is don't have a Bank account anymore? Best of luck with living a life that off-grid especially if you have family or ANY life at all - impractical.

Does this mean that mutual surveillance is ubiquitous? If banks have such tools, then imagine what governments have…

Here's my response instead:

😂

This is Twitter BS.

On modern Android (11+), a random app cannot silently get a full list of all installed apps unless it has special permissions or exemptions.

This is Mastodon… not Twitter.

I'd like to know how it knows how it got installed? Play store knows, by doing checks against their approved released, I find it hard to believe the HSBC shit wrapper app does something like that. But who knows.

The bare faced arrogance and cheek of the drug cartel's favourite local money launderer!

Rough Ryders 😈 MOUNT UP 🥷🏴‍☠️ we attack at dawn

#grapheneos fix this 😁

I would immediately uninstall the HSBC app, use their website to transfer all funds, call them, escalate to higher levels, and close the account.
