Meanwhile: Aurora OS leaked

Aurora OS (Russian: ОС Аврора) or Russian Open mobile platform (OMP) is a Russian Linux-based smartphone operating system developed by Rostelecom for business and governmental use

On June 11, 2024, the X user hackerfantastic leaked copies of Aurora OS v. 3.2.1.65, 4.0.2.82 and 4.0.2.249 that were "coming from a phablet left on the back of a bus in Salisbury, England". In the same post he also revealed a vulnerability in the password manager

Aurora OS was branched from Sailfish OS in 2019 - In 2018, the Russian state applied for a secure mobile phone operating system for official use and Sailfish Mobile OS RUS was chosen and Rostelecom developed it further. In 2019, the platform was renamed Aurora OS

In November 2021, according to Nokiamob.net, there were around 400,000 devices using it.

@ecksmc is Sailfish RUS a completely separate fork from main Sailfish? I’m tempted to grab one of the Linux phones out there and Sailfish looks like it’s one of the more frequently updated builds.

@Smersh yeah

Sailfish OS licenses out just like Android itself and others OSes

Russia used Sailfish OS then rebranded it Aurora OS - as far as I'm aware Sailfish OS is still safe to use
