Yeah but that wouldn't solve this issue? The malware stole data from the app on the users device, not from a server.
Thats technically possible?
Oh my goodness.
Did you read the article? Or even the summary. It states that the attack was an Android app names SafeChat that infected the phone and retrieved chat logs, etc.
