Yes, because all other articles have been removed. Anyone could upload a Trojan to fdroid, plenty would get infected before it’s discovered. I imagine things like that are how you guys get Network Investigation Tools onto people’s devices, look at that drug dealer who had some weird beard app. Either way you can keep looking for hits but people are becoming increasingly aware.
And for anyone believing him for whatever reason, have a look at what fdroid themselves say about it.
