GitHub - Divested-Mobile/Hypatia: A realtime malware scanner

It seems all apps from Divested were archived in December, particularly the antivirus app Hypatia. When you try to update the signature database, you get a 404 error, so I guess the development of this app is dead. Does anyone know of any alternatives or similar apps? Or is it not really necessary to have an antivirus like this on Android?

    If I understand correctly, Hypatia will continue with a new maintainer and is now in the Izzy repo

      I am not sure. If you check the source they link in the Izzy repo it still says that they are looking for maintainers and there have been no commits in two weeks. So it is not quite there yet, but apparently they have solved the issue with the database not updating, and probably the app is usable by now.

      It is great news that the Izzy repo is providing the app there.

        Thank you, yes, I didn’t read carefully enough. But there is hope for Hypatia!
