This application will permanently edit your copy of Slack to inject unknown code into it. DO NOT INSTALL. I will be working with Slack staff today to see what we can do about this application.

https://twitter.com/paulcbetts/s... <-- there's the code snippet where they patch it
Mehdi Kouhen@mehdikouhen · CTO, Seald
@paulcbetts We are 100% transparent with our users. The patch is only on user demand, and 100% reversible (as you can see in the snippet, we save a copy of the original). If you want to discuss with us about our code, implementation, contact us directly at contact@seald.io .

@mehdikouhen @seald Saying you're "Installing the Seald extension" is not at all the same as "Binary patching someone else's application and re-signing it with your key".
Mehdi Kouhen@mehdikouhen · CTO, Seald
@paulcbetts @seald We are most definitely NOT re-signing anything. You may be right about the wording, we'll change that to be clearer about what it is doing.
