The AppCloud application, developed by the Israeli company IronSource, has been found embedded in the system, which has caused user dissatisfaction =AZWs8nw8MniRgjTJvNe3utPWGt2iofkIiCBZbdPJY0SG_80KlMV98AwrCkZz7IyLX-07UIANi1udbsdLFkCBaVvd-YELf70D94H8JqWKkJuZz-U4X6DQ1mper9_PxQoJMQyWAgSgckVolUEzeWB4xHqtPEz9zrnQqG63z7xJhztdHtFwRjd08QzRfv0N55VKqXxpeTJQ2X9NczJKjasMM0r4&__tn__=-UC%2CP-R]reports the media. This application is pre-installed by default on new versions of phones, and on older models, it may be installed during system updates, indicating possible collaboration between Samsung and Israeli developers.
During further investigations, users began leaving complaints on the official Samsung forum, where they expressed their dissatisfaction regarding the inability to remove the application after system updates. This led to an active discussion of the issue, in which many users pointed out the unwanted installation of AppCloud and the lack of an option to get rid of it.
It should be noted that the inability to remove AppCloud is one of the key features of this spyware. Recall that there was a major scandal earlier related to the development by the Israeli company NSO Group of the Pegasus spyware, which was used by governments to surveil opposition figures.
