Looked for an app on mobilism. And a comment said something suspicious.

App name: Seven

Uploader: Balatan

About an year ago I searched on reddit about, If mobilism is safe or not. And lot of people said that it's safe. And some people even mentioned above mentioned uploader Balatan to be trustworthy.

I don't know how much true is that comment.

I am not an expert in digital forensics. So, I just leave it to your eyes.

Balatan is one of if not the biggest contributor in Android modding scene and mobilism for a long time (Uploaders that have purple names in mobilism are major android releasers and generally very trustworthy). if you still have doubts try checking the APK in virustotal

Any modded app provided for free by some rabdom uploader is suspicious. You cannot blindly trust any platform. If you care about your privacy and your device's security you should analyze the app's content in depth or buy the app (or crack it yourself, but it usually means you need to buy the app first).

Don't spread FUD. Educate, instead.

We gain nothing by promoting fear in a mask of "caution".

Teach others how to be confidently aware. Hopefully that'll inspire them to share this newfound knowledge with others, and properly. 🙇🏼‍♂️
