Everyone knows that server owners (and not only, since most often it's not difficult to get into a server's database where everything is stored in plaintext) have access to this kind of information, but it's trivial to just use a different username/password/mail, and to hide your IP you can just use a VPN. Whereas, if your files were malicious (I'm not saying they are, but there's always such a possibility), you could potentially have access to everything ever stored on a user's device. Don't you see a huge difference?
This is just blatantly false. No AV in the world can detect every possible virus. Lots and lots of people have got malware on their computers in spite of using an AV. Just because you have one installed definitely doesn't mean you can safely download any imaginable malware.
The issue started precisely because two virustotal antiviruses, totally unknown, detected the Launcher as a possible threat. I already shared the source code with the OTLand Staff and they ruled out a current malicious behavior.
With respect to third-party obtaining database information, the traffic is encrypted with RSA (4096 bits).
The drama doesn't make sense since there are many launchers similar to mine and custom clients. Thanks for the BUMP!
