as I understand it, the app simply checks if the device is rooted. That's classic for banking apps for exemple. No big deal.
-
It’s absolutely not classic
-
asking for root no, checking for root yes. I have 2 banking apps that check for root for nfc payments.

Almost anything in hands of capable hacker.

Yes everything

@SBICard_Connect Why do you need to break into a house to make sure it's locked? You look for su binary and determine if it's rooted or not! -
The Root check is performed by invoking 'su', and writing a text "Do I have root?", and seeing if it is written
This method only works when there is a directory 'sd' inside /systempic.twitter.com/AFnhMvo4vG

I just think the guy handling their Twitter handle has no idea what root even means. Hence the repeated requests from them to contact via DM or mail.
