Could Apple’s auditing procedures for the App Store be getting looser? The number of pirated streaming applications that were once unable to appear in the AppStore due to its strict rules is increasing.
For example, it is known that Univer Note, which looks like a productivity application from the outside, is actually a front application for watching pirated movies and broadcasts. And this application somehow started to be published on AppStore.
The application offers the user a menu full of pirated movies and TV series in countries such as France or Canada. Moreover, the score of this application is very high, 4.9 out of 5. The application also provides pirated access to various streaming services such as Netflix, Disney +, Apple TV +, Prime Video, Max, Paramount + and Crunchyroll.
What about vulnerability?
In fact, it is thought that Apple overlooked this application during the checks, and it has now been removed from the AppStore because it has been exposed. But we have seen once again that such applications can escape Apple’s control mechanism under different appearances.
The problem is that these applications are marked as “safe” by Apple and offered to users, but once they enter the phones, there is no guarantee that they do not access users’ confidential data, other than just making them watch pirated movies.
