Always Online and malware payloads

Postby Gazmeister » Wed Jan 17, 2018 7:38 am

Hi,

now I have been thinking about this for a while - in fact it's why I have created an account. When using RetroX (which requires elevated permissions on the local box), the client will require a connection to the RetroX servers to validate. Updates are performed through this procedure as well (if I'm not mistaken?). What measures are taken on the server end to prevent possible malware injections through this channel if your servers are compromised?
A bit of a reach I know, but I am speaking out of experience unfortunately ;).
EDIT: Mod, please move this thread to another category - I misplaced my question under features, sorry.

The APK files are signed with my certificate, and checked against that signature.
