And yet the article doesn't say which File Manager is the spyware or what the dev is called. Great reporting.

The apps are named in the second paragraph my guy. Literally did not have to scroll after clicking the link to prove you wrong.

Even on a quick glance you can find literally 4 apps called "File Manager" and if you scroll further I'm sure there will be even more.
