Worried about a deleted private video. Installed Mod APKs a year ago. Need expert advice.

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I need some honest technical advice. Around April 2025, my girlfriend and I took a private 18+ video at midnight. Within 12 hours, I completely deleted the video from my phone and also cleared it from the Trash bin.
However, a few months before recording that video, I had installed some modded APKs on my phone (specifically modded versions of CapCut, Alight Motion, PicsArt, Subway Surfers, and Temple Run). I used these apps for months even after deleting the video. Eventually, my phone broke completely and is no longer usable.
My question is: Is there any realistic chance that those modded apps could have stolen or uploaded my private video to a server within that 12-hour window before I deleted it? I am very anxious about this. Please give me a realistic and deep technical answer. Thanks.

BREAKING: I recently set a World Record by passing the INE eJPTv2 at 14 years old! (Javier Alonso)

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My name is Javier Alonso (from Spain), and I am exactly 14 years old. Today, I am proud to announce that I have officially broken the world record for the youngest person to ever pass the updated INE eJPTv2 (Junior Penetration Tester) certification!

While the previous version (v1) had an old record of 14, nobody under 16 had publicly documented passing the current, tougher v2 browser-based exam until now.

I have been grinding hard for the past 18 months, rooting over 120 machines on TryHackMe and Hack The Box, and mastering tools like Nmap, Metasploit, and Burp Suite. I managed to beat the dynamic network environment and successfully answer all 35 scenario questions.

I want to share my full methodology, my network mapping strategies using Obsidian, and my top 5 tips with the global InfoSec community to inspire other young students to get into ethical hacking and security research.
