I had this shit the other day. Legit laughed out loud.

That's because THEY FOUND MALWARE IN A RELEASE i saw a post about it yesterday. Think the devs have fixed it now but BEWARE if you had sensitive info on your device.

Could be one of the fake ones. Need to get it from the drv's git, not the websites claiming to be him.

SmartTube’s developer told me that the computer used to create the APKs for the project’s official GitHub page was compromised by malware. As a result, some official SmartTube releases were unintentionally released with malware.

The news post going around: https://www.aftvnews.com/smarttubes-official-apk-was-compromised-with-malware-what-you-should-do-if-you-use-it/

The new versions should be clean however:

Users who may have installed the malware-infected versions of the app are recommended to reset their devices and take additional steps to review their YouTube and Google account information. https://www.androidauthority.com/smarttube-malware-fix-3620773/

If you were logged into anything, probably best to change your password to be safe (and delete all sessions to unauth every device)!

Next time you see an alert like that, definitely research it before trying to work around it and install possibly infected software (i know there possibly wasn't any news when the alert went up, but i'd way a day then look it up again before continuing).

Ah, okay. Good to know. I dismissed the alert because it was after a recent update on the TV which also installed an Advertisement ID that allowed for AV ads on the home screen as soon as I turned it on. Definitely been in a "What bullshit is this now?" mode.

It's funny that the mindset has shifted to distrusting Google and Sony this much based on all the times they've tried to sneak things in or block the things that block them. Kind of like a persistent but low-level malware themselves, it's likely I'll dismiss/block their next attempt as I usually do. Having a warning from them is like listening to the boy that cried wolf, sort of.

Updated my shield and play protect disabled smartube, WTF. Fyi go to github and update smartube, because the original version signature was compromised and the developer has an alternate version.
