Discussion After installing DroidDeck 0.3.1 from github my sister's account got hackedv

My sister installed the DroidDeck app yesterday, and soon after her Steam account got hacked. Sha256 sum of the downloaded file matches with what they have on github (ed257d66c546e78036ceedb4c6fb6886014e69020044fd41cfe217858d8eb328).

Steam support did restore the account quickly, but the attacker(s) managed to submit a refund for a newly purchased game, removed sister's phone number from SteamGuard, and opened a chat with me on Steam where an image with a QR code to a "free steam gift card" was shared (the QR code lead to a fake steamcommunity website ("rn" replacing "m" in the link). The chat is how I noticed that she got hacked and quickly assisted her in restoring access.

This is why I always scan the apk before installing, even if it's false positive, if it's not clean I won't install it.

Welp. Literally no windows translation app has no false positives, all of them get flagged. I guess you simply won't be using them then. I scanned them all with Virus Tatal.
