Got a DJI drone as a birthday present and instead of having me from the play store they want me to install an apk directly from their website.

Does anybody know why this app isn’t on the play store? Is this legit or just a vector for malware?

    Yeah remember the time that Sony (a large and well-respected company) intentionally included a rootkit on some 22 million audio CDs?

      You mean the one they eventually provided an uninstaller for? Only for it to hide the rootkit and install a backdoor. While violating multiple open-source licenses. And then receiving a slap-on-the-wrist fine for the whole thing?

      It was comical. I still can’t believe they got away with it.
