@ryanaraine From the link you posted: “Apple has removed some apps from the App Store that install root certificates that could allow monitoring of data.” — article was originally posted back in September, any idea what apps they were referring to back then?

@nptacek No idea. I know there are tons in the VPN space doing this on the downlow

@ryanaraine So you're saying you're like that Uncle who always asks you to make their computer faster when you go to their house for dinner?

@Mao_Ware Which reminds me, I need you to look at something on my new Traeger smoker.

@ryanaraine I deleted the app and the config profile disappeared from the config profiles by itself. Has that been your experience?

@marksiple I never had a problematic profile, so I have no first-hand experience. I believe deleting the app automatically removes the profile but it doesn't hurt to double check

@ryanaraine You lost me. Settings > General > then what?

@Jose_Pagliery

@ryanaraine It's VPN renewal time... anyone know where to find a list of providers that *don't* track?

@lclaytonparker You may not even need a VPN. Think about that as well...

@ryanaraine Any VPN companies you would trust/not trust?

@a_r_j_u_n_e My company's corporate VPN :)

@ryanaraine Apps that use hockeyapp vs test flight usually require these certs.

@ryanaraine Is that like asking your doctor friends to check out the weird oozing lump on your backside?

@ryanaraine @hacks4pancakes I once clicked on a pop up ad (i know I know I shouldn’t have done that) advertising an app that gives earthquake alerts or something. Instead of sending me to the App Store it opened settings asked to install a profile. I noped out immediately

@ryanaraine Tell that to the older folks that install root CA via config profiles because they get "daily horoscope emails". 🛴

@ryanaraine Thank you.

@ryanaraine Great tip!

@ivladdalvi That’s some cringe-worthy targeting of ads. Jeebus.
