WARNING: Adware in last OTA official update for P7000



Warning to everyone having a P7000 or considering buying one:
In the last OTA official update (P7000_20150914), Elephone must have found it funny to include adware!

The malware is called "com.ltp.launcherpad" and it:
- displays some ads over various apps
- add some icons to untrusted apps such as "goo weather" or "popbird" etc
- maybe more, here is a virustotal link: virustotal.com/en/file/7422d824f54365021f3cdd736e3e03bf421a5c62020d1a6b4c 949790b5325ef9/analysis/1445986858

Here is also a thread of people who noticed the problem: bbs.elephone.hk/thread-8262-1-1.html

Dear elephone staff... f**k you!
