How to deal with malicious CB apps?

[striped_speedo]

This is a question I hope that @punker barbie can help with, please.

I have clear proof that there is malicious functionality contained in one or more CB apps. I know the username of an alt account used by the developer to execute said functionality and a list of the apps running in a room where this functionality was executed. Using the list of apps I can narrow down who the developer actually is.

My question is: even with clear proof of malicious behaviour by apps, how can one get CB to take it seriously enough to take action, i.e., to remove the apps and ban the developer?

Thank you!

@noiett I'm asked almost daily to review broadcasters' app setups and I recommend, or at least endorse, your apps regularly along with those from other developers. The only ones I warn models again are the ones I've already listed in my bio, i.e., The Menu, those from kentos, pigley, and streamersuite, and bobodeluxe's My New Followers. I'm happy to add the My Secret Show copies to that list.

I've been in touch with bobo for years and he's always had a nice attitude with me. He even send me models that need apps sometimes, and they are happy with him also.

By the way, Chelsea once told me that she got banned for keeping a list of account names in her profile that were fooling models into changing her bot for another one. Her claims were legit, but Chaturbate considered that such list of users was harassing behaviour. If I was you, I would definitely not keep that list in your page and probably consider also removing or cooling down the tone of the safety recommendations section.

@smoker919 I would make an exception with Pigley, as he is particularly active and harmful, and I'd also recommend to stay away from any copies of the app My Secret Show not uploaded by me (most include backdoors), but that's it.

@NaomiNSFW As far as I know, support has taken acction many times, removing apps and even banning creators permanently. By the way, I've never seen a credit card number in chat in 10 years, and an actual address just a couple of times.

@cbhours Sure, I made the Dream Bot

I haven't seen Chaturbate take action on any individual apps since i've joined Chaturbate but I may be out of the loop.
If you have ever seen an actual address in chat even once that's already worrying. An app developer doesn't need to be online or even active to collect this info easily.

Think about this right...

• A user finds out my address and decides to keep Doxxing me in chat via different accounts (not an un-common thing to happen)
• A malicious app collects this address before it can be filtered by other apps or collected by a scraper
• This malicious app developer makes it so as soon as they enter any Models room this data is dumped to them only. They don't even have to run a command.
• This app developer can also see all the current models that use their app making it easy
• Even if Chaturbate finds out that an app is malicious after seeing these chat messages pop up the damage is already done

and there is absolutely no way the streamer or their moderators will know confidential data was just stolen.

I had a nice conversation with him in December, too, but it bothers me that he has denied for years that My New Followers blocks messages but changed something in the app when I gave him evidence that it is blocking messages and then after his change some messages were no longer being blocked but others still were being blocked. That's sketchy to me.
