Motorola halts Amazon app hijack after routing users through tracking links

Motorola says it has corrected an “unintended” behavior that routed some U.S. users launching the Amazon Shopping app through a web tracking link before the app opened. The company said the issue came from its Moto App Launcher app-search and suggestion experience, which was meant to help users find and launch installed apps. 9to5google.com

The behavior had caused Motorola phones to hijack the Amazon app and inject affiliate data tied to a random fashion influencer when users opened Amazon from the app drawer. Motorola confirmed to 9to5Google that the issue was not intentional and has now been fixed. 9to5google.com
