A bug crept in. Perhaps this is how the recent misstep of the apple company could be described. Apple because he accidentally approved an application in the App Store that allows streaming of pirated movies and series for free. The situation was brought to the attention of Kevin Aubin on the Threads platform. His post was later published by The Verge. The application, called Univer Note, is presented in the description of the application as a tool for recording daily events and planning time. However, it actually allows you to stream movies that are still in theaters, such as smile 2 a Venom: The Last Dance. In addition, it also offers content from paid services such as Netflix, Disney+ and even Apple TV +.

As soon as a pirated app was reported to Apple, it took strong action against it by deleting it immediately. The app, which was available in French, has reportedly been in the App Store since September. However, it is unclear how long it has actually been offering pirated content instead of the originally declared calendar features. It's clear that the app escaped the App Review team's attention, but in its defense, in the US the app did appear to be a regular calendar, which may have helped it go unnoticed until now.
And then that they are safer.
Do you think they aren't? And how many such applications are probably lying around on Google Play? In addition, this application probably did not pose a particular security problem for the average user, except for the copyright holders of the films.
You used the word safer yourself, and I would venture to say that they are, if that's what you mean Apple. Not 100% safe, that's nothing in space.
