The software in question, AppCloud, developed by the mobile analytics firm IronSource, has been embedded in devices sold primarily in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

  Amongst other things, Israel, if you recall, made some cell phones to explode, so too kill people they don’t like. Or maybe there was something called “Pegasus” that went something like that also ? I would have to do some search to be sure.

    I guess many foreign powers are interested in mass surveillance of unstable regions and low budget phones are a good way to do it. People there need phones and don’t have many options, or don’t care because there are worse problems.
