The Chinese court has published a verdict on a case involving the Chinese smartphone maker Gionee. It seems that Gionee planted a Trojan Horse on more than 20 million devices to get money from unsolicited ads and other malicious activities without the user's knowledge.

The Shenzhen Zhipu Technology Co. Ltd., which is a subsidiary of Gionee, has implanted a Trojan Horse through a software update using the so-called "Story Lock Screen" app. The first devices infected with the "Dark Horse Program" were in December 2018. The job was carried out until October 2019 and for that period, the company is said to have earned around $4.2 million, affecting 21.75 million smartphones. The expenses for that period are just a little below $1.3 million.

Xu Li, Zhu Ying, Jia Zhengqiang and Pan Qi were found guilty in the process of illegally controlling mobile devices and are sentenced from 3 to 3.5 years in prison along with a CNY 200,000 (~$30,000) fine each.

Although shocking, this seems to be a common practice with cheap Chinese smartphones and other companies were also found guilty of the same
malicious activity and Tecno is one of them.

this isnt nice. Why would they do such?

fasmukol:
The case is not really a China based case. They should compensate (with money) people that have suffered from their dubious act and find a way of fixing the bug with assurance of consumers' privacy protection.

exactly

That means it'll affect almost all the phones then, majority is produced in China

That's how my gionee s10 lite keeps deducting me anytime I recharge my phone till it's exhausted.

The story locker is an advertisement strategy.

There is a simple way to stop it.

If you can use adb, quote me, teach u how.
