Recently busted 'Internet celebrities' provided 'stealth app' tutorials to 400k followers. The three suspects have a combined age of 215 years.

Hidden pirate features within seemingly harmless apps, known as "stealth apps," are slipping past Apple's App Store security, offering users access to pirated movies and TV shows. Taiwan's Criminal Police Bureau recently busted three individuals promoting unlock instructions for these apps to roughly 400,000 users. Surprisingly, this tech-savvy scheme was orchestrated by a group whose combined age totals 215 years.

Combined age? Combined age. COMBINED AGE!
- Liang – 73 years old
  
  Shen – 62 years old
  
  Lin – 80 years old
- Makes me think the article was written by AI.
Interesting piece, didn't know about iOS stealth apps, and the ages of the accused certainly makes the news stand out —

— but can we talk about that hilariously bad "AI" generated picture they chose to illustrate it? That disembodied hand left of centre holding up the "iPhone"?

WHO WAS PHONE? 😄
Anyone care to share some stealth apps i can use to convert my old Gen 3 iPad into something useful instead of collecting dust?
