Why is Dolphin{Anty} accessing sensitive files on my PC?

[hipster9]

I was trying to use Dolphin{Anty} on my PC but a strange notification caught my eye.

It was trying to access my sensitive file with emails and passwords inside it. Thank god I was using an antivirus and protected my sensitive documents, otherwise, I am not sure what details might have been shared with this app.

As they have a marketplace thread on BHW, I believe mods need to look at it closely and let us know if it's safe for use.

P.S- I never gave the app permission to use the file, it tried to access the file randomly.
@Dolphin Team Clarify?

Here's the screenshot -

This is a setup, I thought that only their hacking overshadowed their browser, now data theft is happening, it's interesting to get an answer. I left them in Gologin after the hack, we need to closely monitor all browsers.

These are very shady practices from their end. The account is online but he hasn't replied yet. I wasn't really accusing them but I wanted clarification and they haven't replied which makes it a bit more serious.
@BassTrackerBoats @Mrnewbie @Heiko Please look into this. It might be a serious issue as they already have an active marketplace thread.

Well we should wait for mod to response on this till lets not use Dolphin anty.

 

[ToughSeoX]

I've been using the browser and have never received this type of notification. I have McAfee antivirus software. Asking to access your 220 Yahoo accounts located on the desktop, just doesn't make any sense.

Open a Shitlist if you think they're in breach of their T&Cs (...and also the law by the sounds of it).

 

[Brianii]

I still think they should have an explanation.

Nothing to look into without proof as to a violation of the rules and that proof posted in the SL subforum.

We are more than happy to help but we do have to keep things in their lane to do so.

MAN I ALWAYS THOUGHT: WHY IS DOLPHIN FREE WHEN ALL OTHER ANTI DETECT BROWSERS ARE NOT? GOT DAMNIT I SHOULD TRUST MY GUT MORE

Actually free for 10 profiles and if you want more you need to pay. Other also has free plan like them tho.

 

[Gogol]

Umm, so I guess nothing is free after all.
While this is concerning and should be answered by the owner of the tool, I guess you could use a VM for now to run the browser, which will make it far more difficult to access the host's files.

I just uninstalled. I just don't know why they would ignore this thread. That's the part that bothers me most.

Pretty sure a mod will be on it as soon as they see this thread. Or may be something is already going on in the background.

 

[Surf Excel]

damn now it will hard to trust more freebies in bhw after this

Any anti fingerprinting browser is ideal for installing spyware on your system, it runs on your system recording keystrokes, pages accessed, taking screenshots calling home with all your business secrets. If they are good enough to fool Instagram fooling antivrus programs is much easier.

"its only for your safety"

 

[strontium]

wow, glad to see this

what anti fingerprint browsers would you recommend?

 

[FluffyStuff]

Name one other... ? I know Undetected offers 5 free profiles, but just as Dolphin they just popped up fairly recent (as far as I understand it)...!

That and Ghost as well. Dolphin stand out bc they offer more on their free plan. Anw still looking for their response since this is really serious issue
