Gordon, thx for the information ;-)!

 

In Austria, we have also a deep discussion about a app called “Stopp Corona App” commissioned by the Austrian Red Cross.

Some initial check by security researchers here: https://www.sba-research.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Technische-Analyse-Stopp-Corona-App_27.03.2020_EN.pdf

 

Take care and have a nice day,

Cheers,

Matthias
