suspicion of malware

1

Hello F-Droid community.

I am afraid that malware has entered my smartphone:

At the top of the status bar came today the infos that there are updates for f-Droid and some apps from simplemobiletools. Have agreed to the updates via the status bar.
The update for f-droid failed.
So I wanted to try the update again in the f-d app.
I noticed the following things:

a) all images of the offered apps are not displayed.

b) the last update of f-d was, according to the homepage and the installed app, on 1.3.23 V1.16.1.
Instead of 21.3.23.

C) my apps from simplemobiletools were, according to the f-d app, already updated a few days ago.
Instead of 21.3.23.

Does anyone have an explanation for this?
malware?

Thanks in advance!

There’s no issue there.

Updating from the notification might fail.

Pics for the dates issues?

I had those same updates yesterday. They all installed and worked perfectly well on my Android 11.

Maybe you use weird repos! :ghost:

Don’t think anything wrong but still you can so you have a peace of mind.
You can monitor your smartphone behavior with wireshirk to analyze smartphone traffic you need a linux system for that.
Else if you have a router running pfsense or opnsense or openwrt you can use tcp dump or maybe use nextdns as doh to look into your quarry.

Or Netguard (it’s in F-Droid :)), no PC needed
