Nekogram, fork of the Open Source messaging app Telegram used by journalists and privacy activists, had just been discovered to include spyware. The malicious code sent all user's private phone numbers to the developer, a Chinese man nicknamed NekoWorkshop (alias tehcneko). The devteam publicly admitted the presence of the spyware code, then started reacting violently against the userbase.
