Motorola says it has stopped a recently identified behavior in which some of its phones direct users to an affiliate tracking website before opening the Amazon app. The issue came to light after reports that Motorola devices were “hijacking” or altering how the Amazon app launched, adding affiliate-related data during the redirect process. Motorola characterizes the behavior as “unintended” and says it has been promptly corrected. Both outlets report that Motorola confirmed the change after the behavior was discovered and that the company has ended the redirect/injection it attributed to the affiliate tracking step. According to the available reporting, Motorola does not provide details on how the behavior was introduced in the first place, but it does indicate it acted quickly once the issue was identified. The correction means that the phones no longer perform the affiliate redirect step associated with the Amazon app launch, according to Motorola’s statements as summarized by the sources.
