"However, our recent analysis found over 90 times more malware from sideloaded sources than on Google Play."

Has anyone seen the report for that analysis. I bet most people here would love to read it too.

I mean, I’m sure “Fortnite with infinite vbucks.apk” has a much worse malware rate than the play store, but I’m almost certain that fdroid has a lower malware rate than the play store and I honestly suspect even “random apks off github” might have a similar rate to the play store
