    I'm not sure I understand correctly, muds are text based but not file based. But there are several mud clients available with different features. Most include an auto mapper for ex…

    Additionally there was a leak of the personal information of covid patients, the official tracking app was not affected as far as I can tell. However even if the app is secure the …
