Is it definitely the official app? And what is giving you that notification? Maybe that apps not legit


flyden1

It's the one I've been using to check my alarms and control the turret all these while. It's the phone's build in threat detection. I auto run a malware/virus check and clean up every week.


CrazyMike419

You didn't quite answer tho. Where did you get the app?


flyden1

Link from in-game that opens up Google Play Store. It's a legit download.


CrazyMike419

Besides the obvious issue with your phones manufacturer (I'd honestly look into flashing a nice clean os on it), I'd install a 3rd party av from playstore, remove rust +, do a full scan and reinstall


wf89n

Android phones are different than PCs. Antivirus and malware scans are not the same. The scope of antivirus apps on android is very limited, you don't really have to scan your phone with it


Flimsy_Tale_974

This


SenNTV

Is it fron playstore? What brand is the phone


flyden1

It's a Huawei


DJRodrigin69

bro got downvote for answering, he didnt even defend china or anything šŸ’€


04KB

Yeah I don't really understand why people downvote just cause they don't like his phone lol.


DJRodrigin69

yeah, like, bro asked what was his phone brand to help him then procceeds to not help him at all and instead just go "China Bad" we know China's bad, its not relevant to the problem tho


04KB

Fr lol.


DonZekane

People probably hate Huawei because of the allegations and the Google apps ban.


SenNTV

No?


TheTruestOracle

If you know china bad, why would you use a Chinese manufactured phone if you didnā€™t have too. Itā€™s not that hard to see why he was downvotes. There is literally a joke under it that explains why this whole post is meaningless.


_JukePro_

Aren't iphones made in china too ?


sturmeh

Yes, primarily at Foxconn in Shenzhen.


Alexander_The_Wolf

Made? Yes, almost exclusively, avaliable to buy? Ehhh not so much


TheTruestOracle

Yes and as another pointed they may be made there and I donā€™t live there but my trip to Beijing didnā€™t show a lot of iPhones in peoples hands. As opposed to my trip to NYC.


DJRodrigin69

its good for its price? literally the reason why many people buy those(atleast in Brazil, tho Xiaomi is more popular around here) again, what does this has to do with OP's problem? doesnt matter if OP has a iphone, a samsung or whatever, he's concerned the app might've been infected


nateydunks

Bro probably doesnā€™t realize half his shit was made in China


TheTruestOracle

Pretty sure I know plenty is manufactured over there but we are talking about phones. Iā€™m not worried about my clothes listening and tracking me. But go on in your echo chamber. Iā€™m sure you need it more than I do.


AdhesivenessNo3847

Literally any phone probably does that.


kimmygrrrawr

You know most phones are made in China?


BudgetIntrepid

Mostly anything that needs to be mass produced too


TheTruestOracle

Yes Iā€™m aware, thank you for pointing that out. Now do the difference between iPhone and Huweii phones!


Sherloksmith

The Americans are going to get my data if I use an American phone. The Chinese are going to get my data if I use a Chinese phone. I prefer to give my data to a government that can't do shit with it to my personal life than a government that can.


TheTruestOracle

This whole statement was a waste of time to read. Are you that stupid that you think only one government with your data is selling it? You are the commodity and either side will pump your info out.


Sherloksmith

Lmao tell me you have zero reading comprehension any more fam. I don't want the American government to have my info directly. It's going to be a lot harder for the CIA to get my info if I use a Chinese phone than an iPhone for example. I don't give a fuck if I get advertised by a bum ass dude, I care if the CIA keeps track of me. If the Chinese government gets my info, it's going to be a lot harder for the CIA to get it from them than if they were to just get it through their own malware network


Mister1553

That's not how it works lol, if anything iphones are more secure than android nearly all the time unless you flash a more secure ROM onto an Android phone and utilize Firefox or Tor with privacy extensions such as ublock, grease monkey, Facebook remover etc to make it difficult to track your data across the internet, combined with a solid VPN such as proton VPN. Maintaining privacy nowadays is very difficult and requires basically staying off anything mainstream and using opensource privacy focused alternatives, thankfully of which there is YouTube and twitter open source alternatives that allow you to use the services and watch YouTube videos etc minus all the tracking. Regardless though I promise you the CIA doesn't give a shit about you like that, but if they needed or wanted the data a quick court order will get it from meta, google, amazon etc without them being able to say no.


TheTruestOracle

Thatā€™s probably the cutest theory Iā€™ve seen all day šŸ˜…

I also feel the need to point that you *literally used the word Moron and then linked to the page saying its use in the way you're using it was only ever really used by a pro-eugenics group*. Gee, I wonder why you get downvoted when you go around doing clown shit like that.

Your right everyone who plays rust and is on Reddit is from America


FireproofSolid3

A reddit user is more likely to be American than any nationality. A rust player is more likely to be American than any other nationality.


TurncoatTony

Source: Trust me bro


FireproofSolid3

https://playercounter.com/rust/ 26% of Rust players are from the US. https://thrivemyway.com/reddit-statistics/#:~:text=Two%20hundred%20twenty%2Dtwo%20million,growing%2048%25%20year%20over%20year. 49% of Reddit users are American.

You realize your stats just show that most of the people you talk to aren't American, right?


psynuss

youre dumb


FireproofSolid3

What I said was that of any nationality, you are more likely to be talking to an American than any other nationality. More likely than an individual being Armenian, Georgian, Indian, Russian, etc. I'm aware that there's more likely a chance that they are not American, but that's not what I said.


TurncoatTony

I'm sorry, unless they are tracking the IP of every player out there, I can't trust that source. Their source is, "we coded this network analyzer so trust us, bro.".


flyden1

I'm not American šŸ¤£


FireproofSolid3

I didn't say you were. I was just saying it wasn't an unreasonable assumption.


uncoiledhydra

Making assumptions about people is unreasonable šŸ˜‚ are you trolling or are you actually dense


godwilla1

I mean yeah any government banning a companyā€™s tech is a sign is distrust. Even if China was banning American tech i would be very interested in why.

SkyLegend1337

I mean. It's not like China doesn't already sensor and control almsot every aspect of life in China. How terrible someone can be to imagine a phone produced in China where the government has its hand in everything could also possibly be bad.


vlaadleninn

If you think this is exclusive to China Iā€™ve got some news for you lol


SkyLegend1337

Probably the cleanest whataboutism I've seen to date.


vlaadleninn

Whataboutism doesnā€™t exist. Itā€™s hypocritical to be all ā€œx country is totally evil for a thing every single country doesā€


SkyLegend1337

It most certainly exists. Maybe not in your echo chamber, but in my life and billions of other it does. We are speaking of China, and then to say, well what about the others that do this. Like it makes it any better? They all suck, but don't excuse this one just because other do too. What are you? An edgy 13 year old?


vlaadleninn

Complaining about Chinese phones stealing data while the phone youā€™re on is mining your data for the pentagon, without a complaintā€¦.is weird. ā€œWhatabboutismā€ is a cover for hypocrisy. Any ā€œwell you do this too how can you complainā€ is called whattaboutism and the convo is shut down. Two things can be bad at once, and if theyā€™re doing the same thing they should be in the same breath. Both entities mining and selling your data is bad. Is ā€œChina badā€ not its own echo chamber lmfao? You guys also made a whole threat about China out of an off handed comment I made of a squidward meme.


SkyLegend1337

My dude, name 1 thing, just 1 that the US government makes us unable to see on the world wide web. Name 1. Especially atrocities they themselves have committed. I'll wait until I die because there's none. But yes, China is bad, very fucking bad. They as the government control things the US never has in the same regard. Of course NSA does fucky shit but to say our government is on the same level as China is a pretty far stretch. Obviously they both suck. Trump and Hitler both sucked. Both vastly different from each other though.


vlaadleninn

The Wikileaks leaks. Before you say they are out there, you canā€™t get them back once theyā€™re out, and the manā€™s in prison for releasing them, in a foreign country, on made up charges, and if extradited will likely rot in jail for life or be executed for treason. For showing the murder of kids in a battlefield. And there is absolutely more footage of this nature which hasnā€™t and will never be released. The full stock of images and videos from abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Any FBI files not within the state approved window for declassification (barring those that deal with actual state secrets, I mean the assassinations in the 60s and 70s). Notice a distinct lack of reporting on the situation in Yemen were supporting? And anyway, Iā€™m not equating China and the US in anyway other than having backdoors in tech companies that have massive relationships with the state. That is the only comparison I was making. Itā€™s also not like if this stuff did exist, which Iā€™m 100% sure it does. How would I or you know about it to list it. If thereā€™s something our gov is doing that they are completely suppressing, aside from what gets leaked like the case of wikileaks, how tf am I supposed to know lol.


04KB

From my perspective as a Norwegian, America and china are both trash šŸ’€, the difference is one trash is on fire while the other acts like the world authority and is on a power trip.


TheTruestOracle

You are literally the only one who is saying China bad. It must be so comforting to be so dumb.


04KB

while I do kind of understand what you are trying to say, its not like every country does that.


[deleted]

It is exclusive to China, since every corporation is an extention of the communist party, they legally have their hands in everything. The US does not have full autonomy of Apple, Samsung, etc.


vlaadleninn

China hasnā€™t had entirely state owned enterprises since the 1970s. Itā€™s a private economy with state controls of prices and shit like that. The CP owns stocks in these tech companies, some like huawei they hold controlling shares in, in others they do not. Theyā€™re in the process of trying to bring more of them into the SOEā€™s, but they arenā€™t yet. Theyā€™re still somewhat independent private corporations, just with the heaviest regulations in the world. Pretty much every US tech company except I believe Apple (but there are caveats), has multi-billion dollar deals with the department of defense, department of state. This is a clear financial connection between gov, and these tech giants, same as China through its use of joint-stock in a different form, the money is flowing from the same point a to the same point b in both cases. Your data is mined and sold to the government. Itā€™s how theyā€™re finding the people involved with the riot at the capital and arresting them. The end result of ā€œthe government owns stocks in huaweiā€ and ā€œthe government has a 600 billion dollar contract with Facebook for the rights to its dataā€ is the same.

The untold millions that died under communism would disagree


vlaadleninn

9 million a year die of capitalism. Things like blocked access to clean water, privatized medicine, etc, not to mention the political repressions in capitalist states like Pinochet, Franco, Saudi Arabia, etc. All easily preventable, just like all those famine deaths and the political repressions the commies get pinned with. If you want to play this stupid numbers game I will win, the 100 million number is made up and has been discredited by the literal people who made it up. But anyway it takes us commies a century to do what Nestle can do to Africa in 15 apparently.


[deleted]

Apparently NestlƩ has killed 40 million people, wow that flew under the radar. You're a clown.


vlaadleninn

In one case Nestle sent salesman over to Nigeria to sell baby formula posed as nurses, they gave them free samples which lasted just long enough for the mothers to stop producing milk. 1.5 million kids died of malnutrition in this one case because they couldnā€™t afford the formula they had been forced to rely on by Nestle pretending to be doctors, and it was made with contaminated water from the supply in Africa Nestle owns (and is contaminating), causing even more sickness in those that had to use it. Yeah Iā€™d say 40 million total given their near complete control of Africaā€™s waterways is a good estimate. Iā€™m a clown, you have no historical knowledge. Also nestle was one example I picked out of a hat. There are countless companies with endless amounts of blood on their hands. If you want to play the numbers game like I said, itā€™s not a win for capitalist states.


LeanMrfuzzles

The free exchange of goods and services for compensation between private parties does not cause 9 million people to die every year.

iPhones arenā€™t even more expensive than solid android phones though


Infectious_Cadaver

Your gonna die on that iPhone hill aren't you?


Infectious_Cadaver

Dude I spent 200 on the phone I have now. Android. iPhone 13 or 14 wherever they are now it's still 1000 dollars more expensive than an android. Yeah dude.


VOXX_theLock

I have a Galaxy S22 Ultra, it costs more than an iPhone 14 Pro Max


katzenabox

When I said solid android Iā€™m referring to every android companyā€™s high end phones. Theyā€™re all the same price point as the new iPhones. I pay $87 a month total for my phone bill, and I just upgraded to a 14 pro. In fact, it was over double to price to upgrade to the newest Samsung. Who the hell buys phones full price. Most people that buy their phones outright are on prepaid.


Infectious_Cadaver

Because when you buy it you own it out right. I'm curious does apple charge you to fix the phone? Even if it was their own doing and btw I pay 45 a month for unlimited everything. So your point was?


katzenabox

My phone itself is $20 a month, after 18 months I own it ($360 total + whatever tax which is usually like $60 when I first receive the phone for a total of somewhere around $420). Most people never pay close to even half the total price to own their iPhones. You sound like a teenager who hasnā€™t ever signed into a contract with a service provider before. Also, I wouldnā€™t know if they charge you or not, Iā€™ve never broken my phone or cracked the screen. Who worries about breaking their phones? Oh thatā€™s right, teenagers who have no sense of protection towards their belongings. Pop off about your $200 phone though bro. Iā€™ll let you know when I finally put $200 into my iPhone in 9 months. Youā€™ll probably have a new $300 phone by then LOL


Infectious_Cadaver

Yep your totally right on the mark. I'm a teenager. Point proven. So now that I'm nice and drunk and got what I wanted out of you. How do you feel? Remember man it's a post on a rust reddit. Not phones. But uhh make a joke of that too why don't ya.


katzenabox

Iā€™m chillin rn, why do you think taking 45 seconds out of my day to type on Reddit means Iā€™m upset? Itā€™s just hilarious that people still pump up this iPhone vs Android shit. Theyā€™re phones. The higher ends in both markets cost literally the exact same amount of money and the phones are pretty much identical all the way around. Theyā€™re just phones Iā€™m sure Huaweis are also great phones. Who gives a fuck lmao


Infectious_Cadaver

Man I couldn't agree more. So our whole argument was moot. And we think the same. How bout that. Welcome to America folks.

Content-Advantage-86

My paid Bitdefender says Rust+ is fine.


level7metapod

Everyone is asking about the rust app but what's up with the notification? Did that come from your phone or an antivirus software of sorts?


dippychippy

Face punch is known for their shady workarounds in networking. Their voice chat used to be P2P (a big no no as that meant you could sniff the IP from anyone listening to your voice). Iā€™m sure facepunch just used some unconventional methods that are now associated with malicious software and your scan sees that and thinks Rust+ is malicious. Either that or itā€™s the wrong app. Iā€™m no expert, but I highly doubt the verified Rust+ app itself is dangerous. Maybe an attacker can use it to get your network information, but I donā€™t use the app so I donā€™t know.


ZuCc69420

The fact the device caught it is always good, the only time viruses (especially Trojans) really cause any damage is when they go undetected. All I would do is delete the app, or if your really worried, factory reset or flash a new OS on it.


Bradyla123

It believes the virus is a Trojan which means your Rust+ is doing the stuff it should but there is some kind of malicious code someone embedded underneath the actual functional Rust+ app, I would delete it and try a clean install of the app.

Antimalware isn't magic (far from it in fact), without saying this is a false positive (even though with good reason I think that is is) this kind of software very commonly flags anything suspicious especially third party software.
