Provenance note: independent threat research (Group-IB, March 2026) named Redfinger among consumer cloud-phone platforms whose "actual usage patterns suggest significant fraud applications" — describing widely abused platforms, not criminal vendors. If your automation has to hold up to compliance or platform review, infrastructure provenance is part of the product.
