I was wondering why Download Shuttle has so many more users than my app (Fat Pipe). Seems like they are playing with the world of adware marketing, I hope they aren't doing weird things with the OS as well :/.
We can only speculate that it was done in order to disguise what the malware is really doing (installing adware such as Genieo).
Download Shuttle is a free app and makes up an insignificant part of our overall Mac app portfolio. FIPLAB is one of the longest standing app developers on the Mac App Store and our apps have been featured multiple times by Apple themselves.
Perhaps you shouldn't jump to conclusions?
From face value it does look very odd. I apologize in for assuming you guys were involved.
