In an article about not downloading malware: "You can use my downloader! It's totally safe, bro!"
Yeah, I'll pass.
I think this comment relates to the fact that article mentions AFTNews Updater app as a way to install SmartTube... not yet released version of software?
The internal auto updater of the app directly use github as source, was this also compromised ? If malware was only on some random apkmirror upload then it should probably be fine for most users.
