I think this was little fucked up of Tijme Gommers at Northwave Cyber Security https://northwave-cybersecurity.com/ original author of this app i assume.

Things I get and appreciate:

- Before selling, great software, nicely working UI etc.

- Taking the risk to create this software.

- Wanted get some money out of the project.

Things that I don't get:

- Working for a Cyber security company and selling your "open source" project to some fishy company without really informing the users with big banners (or changing name of the app. e.g. Raivo OTP Mobime)

- Knowing fully the risks and importance of this kind of app.

- Not speaking out when shit hit the fan. (or helping)

There is no accountability here, only the social goodwill has been broken.

Lessons:

- Don't use automatic updates.

- All software is shit.

- Backup before updates.

- Trust nothing and assume it's going to break at some point.

- Go to the forest and never come back.

I feel like Tijme Gommers should be held accountable for this fiasco as well. He knew exactly what he was doing when he sold to this shady as fuck company and announced it as minimally as possible. For someone who works in an industry so reliant on ethnical standards, he has demonstrated that he has absolutely no ethics whatsoever.
