Since 2022 (afaik) GrapheneOS and its devs’ blogs have been distributing disinformative FUD campaigns against F-Droid, Firefox, Linux and even uBlock Origin, and they promoted accrescent.app and Chromium for years.
They spammed developers to upload their apps to accrescent.app. gitlab.com/ironfox-oss/IronFox/-/issues/7
They created many blogs with different domains:
…github.io/…/linux-hardening.html
privsec.dev/posts/linux/linux-insecurities/
privsec.dev/…/choosing-your-android-based-operati…
madaidans-insecurities.github.io/linux.html
madaidans-insecurities.github.io/android.html
…github.io/firefox-chromium.html

Suspicious GitHub accounts:
github.com/RKNF404 (not sure)
github.com/d4rklynk (simpleprivacy.fr owner)
github.com/Wonderfall/ (privsec.dev side account)
github.com/Ganwtrs (not sure)
github.com/TommyTran732 (privsec.dev owner and grapheneos dev)
github.com/thestinger (grapheneos founder)

I’ve never shied away from expressing my doubts about F-Droid privsec.dev/posts/…/f-droid-security-issues/ (I’m mainly referring to its official repository here).
Here they admit privsec.dev is theirs.
Also, here is a second proof that madaidans-insecurities.github.io is owned by the same person/group:
wonderfall.space/vpn-mesusage/
madaidans-insecurities.github.io/vpns.html
As you can see, they distribute FUD across many different domains (these are just my findings).
Also, I find that discuss.privacyguides.net/t/…/13650 and www.privacyguides.org/en/os/linux-overview/ privacyguides team are referencing this BS “research.”
For the public record, please do not trust anyone who references this disinformation.
Also in lemmy we have at least 1 of their troll
@dnzm@lemmy.ml please ban this troll and investigate if there is other trolls, we don’t want trolls in fediverse
