Signing certificate
- Certificate issued to “APKMODY” Not the developer's name (“SEGA”). Names in certificates can't be verified, so this alone proves nothing.
- The same certificate signs apps from 10 different developers Developers sign only their own apps, so this almost always means the files were re-signed by someone else — often after being modified.
