2 crore Gionee mobiles were secretly planted with malware, says China court
Two crore mobiles made by Chinese company Gionee were intentionally inflicted with Trojan Horse via an app between December 2018 and October 2019, according to a Chinese court's verdict. The app became a tool to profit from users through unsolicited ads and other illegitimate means. Gionee's subsidiary Shenzhen Zhipu implanted the malware through an update of 'Story Lock Screen' app.
