GrapheneOS isn’t pulling any punches in its beef with Revolut
The gloves are off as GrapheneOS calls Revolut's approach to security "incredibly negligent."
GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused Android project, has issued a strong statement criticizing Revolut, a financial technology company. The issue revolves around users experiencing difficulties logging into the Revolut app. GrapheneOS accuses Revolut of deliberately targeting privacy-conscious users running GrapheneOS, while simultaneously supporting older Android versions.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), GrapheneOS pointed to Revolut's alleged targeting of GrapheneOS, despite its support for outdated Android versions. The privacy-centric project believes that privacy-focused operating systems face increased scrutiny from apps like Revolut, which seems to be taking their differences too far.
GrapheneOS argues that the real issue lies in Revolut's insistence on enforcing licensing on Google Play, rather than genuine security concerns. The project also questions the stringent security standards Revolut claims to adhere to, citing the app's continued support for Android 9, which was released in 2018. GrapheneOS strongly criticizes Revolut, labeling the company as "incredibly negligent when it comes to security."
