TL:DR Overpriced phone Proprietary software and App Suite Reselling FOSS app’s under a monthly subscription ($13 a month) Removing all credit and software licenses from the stolen app’s Hostile user base & technologically incompetent owners Previously hosting CSAM channels on their Matrix homeserver Reconnaissance As with all jobs, casing the joint is a pretty good place to start.
