Transsion phones silently leak full app activity and location to China
Researchers reverse‑engineered Transsion’s Athena telemetry stack on TECNO, Infinix and itel phones and found it streams every app’s network activity, precise location, foreground app and camera usage to a Chinese server, tied to permanent IDs. The encryption keys are hard‑coded, making the data trivially decryptable, exposing a continent‑wide privacy breach.
