I manually copy it to Proton Drive and access it via android with KeepassDX

It’s the facial recognition piece that I find particularly concerning.

But federal immigration agents are using a facial recognition app called Mobile Fortify and U.S. Customs and Border Protection recently signed a contract with Clearview AI, a facial recognition company that has accessed billions of images of peoples’ faces off the internet

Do we know what the hacked version of the app actually did after installed? For example, did it send all opened files back to some server owned by the hackers?
