8,000 iOS and Android apps contain code developed in Russia

A Russian data company pretending to be an American one developed code for the United States Army, as well as for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Wanted to make sure they were locked down

The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) bought access to location data harvested from tens of millions of phones in the United States to perform an analysis of compliance with curfews.

Fortunately, they were not real

A cock-up in the programming department of the CDC resulted in more than 72,000 being reported dead of Covid.
