When you create a profile in the official @narendramodi#Android app, all your device info (OS, network type, Carrier …) and personal data (email, photo, gender, name, …) are send without your consent to a third-party domain called in.wzrkt.com.
This domain is classified as a phishing link by the company G-Data. This website is hosted by @GoDaddy and the whois info are hidden.
After a quick search, this domain belongs to an American company called @CleverTap. According to their description, “#CleverTap is the next generation app engagement platform. It enables marketers to identify, engage and retain users and provides developers"
Of course, I reversed their SDK, the JAR file provided on #Github.
First observation, nothing is obfuscated.
Secondly, this SDK is very light…
Finally, we can confirm that the domain wzrkt.com is the property of @CleverTap.
.@narendramodi, I know privacy is not your thing but any thoughts about sharing the personal data of your users without their consent to a third-party company?

First thing first, we are talking about this app "Bolo Messenger - Secure Chat, Voice & Video Calls" which is the new version of the #Kimbho app play.google.com/store/apps/det…
When you send a message with the #Bolo app, it is checking if your contact is online with this request. The endpoint is taking the "contact userId" (the 1st black rectangle in the picture)
Time for a new thread. The #android#application called @moinsbete is one of the most downloaded applications in France. This app is sending without your consent your personal data to @mopub:
- location
- operator
- mcc
- mnc
- country
- screen size
Yes, all these requests to @mopub are HTTP requests... Welcome to 2018...
This is a very good example of data abuse. Every time you open the @moinsbete#android#app with location on, your location is send without your consent to an US based server owned by @mopub
The samples are available on @koodous_project and @virusbay_io
