Gionee has installed a Trojan on 20 million phones

Gionee, the manufacturer behind Allview, has installed a Trojan on 20 million mobile phones. In declared bankruptcy since 2018, Gionee is now caught in the act. More than 20 million phones were running a Trojan under the Story Lockscreen application.

This Trojan brought the company $ 4.2 million in unwanted ads and malware. The employees responsible for this procedure received a fine of $ 30,000 and imprisonment for 3 to 3.5 years.

Strange that it was not the company that was fined but the employees who introduced that Trojan on the phones.
