Thai authorities summoned Chinese smartphone brands Oppo and RealMe over a pre-installed 'creepy' loan application on their handsets, which allegedly gives the firms access to user information.
Oppo and RealMe, owned by multinational conglomerate BBK Electronics from China, were reported by users who discovered the Fineasy spy app on their newly bought devices in Thailand.
