摩托罗拉手机开始劫持亚马逊应用以植入联盟营销代码
A truly bizarre situation on Motorola phones has led to the software hijacking the Amazon app to inject an affiliate code – even on the $1,900 Razr Fold. The shady use of affiliate codes has become unfortunately common in recent years, with the most high-profile example being the PayPal-owned browser extension Honey. But a new situation on Motorola smartphones might top the charts in terms of sketchy behavior.
摩托罗拉手机上出现了一种极其离奇的情况：其系统软件会劫持亚马逊（Amazon）应用并植入联盟营销代码，即便是在售价高达 1900 美元的 Razr Fold 折叠屏手机上也未能幸免。近年来，这种隐蔽的联盟代码植入行为已变得屡见不鲜，最典型的例子莫过于 PayPal 旗下的浏览器插件 Honey。但摩托罗拉智能手机上的这一新情况，在“可疑行为”排行榜上恐怕要名列前茅了。
An app update on Motorola phones has started hijacking the Amazon app for the sake of injecting an affiliate code. To do that, tapping the app icon opens the user’s browser and immediately redirects to the Amazon app. It’s a “blink and you missed it” moment. This only happens when the user opens the Amazon app from the app drawer – not the homescreen pages.
摩托罗拉手机的一次应用更新开始劫持亚马逊应用，目的是植入联盟营销代码。具体表现为：点击应用图标时，系统会先打开浏览器，然后立即跳转至亚马逊应用。整个过程快到“眨眼即逝”。这种情况仅在用户从应用抽屉（App Drawer）打开亚马逊应用时发生，从主屏幕图标打开则不会。
A Motorola Razr 60 Ultra user on Reddit was the first to notice this behavior, using an ADB log to show that the launcher is directing users to a URL instead of the Amazon app they expected to open. It traces back to the Smart Feed app, one of the apps Motorola has pre-loaded on many of its phones including the latest Razr (2026) family of foldables. A network log also shows the device making requests to “devicenative.com,” a website for a service that places ads on smartphones (and isn’t too quiet about its integration with Motorola).
一位 Reddit 上的摩托罗拉 Razr 60 Ultra 用户最先发现了这一行为。通过 ADB 日志显示，手机启动器将用户导向了一个 URL，而不是用户预期的亚马逊应用。该问题追溯到了“Smart Feed”应用，这是摩托罗拉在其多款手机（包括最新的 Razr 2026 系列折叠屏）中预装的应用之一。网络日志还显示，设备会向“devicenative.com”发送请求，这是一个在智能手机上投放广告的服务网站（该网站对其与摩托罗拉的集成毫不避讳）。
We verified on a Razr (2026) running an older Smart Feed v2.03.0056 that this does not happen. Our Razr Fold, with app version 2.03.0070, has started showing this behavior, so it’s the latest update that’s to blame for hijacking the user’s intent. We couldn’t replicate this on a Moto G Stylus (2026) running the same app version, though. Sideloading the app, for reasons unclear, doesn’t seem to trigger this behavior, as manually installing the updated version on the aforementioned Razr (2026) didn’t show the same behavior.
我们在一台运行旧版 Smart Feed v2.03.0056 的 Razr (2026) 上进行了验证，发现并未出现此问题。而我们那台安装了 2.03.0070 版本应用的 Razr Fold 则出现了这种行为，因此可以确定是最近的更新导致了对用户意图的劫持。不过，我们在运行相同版本应用的 Moto G Stylus (2026) 上未能复现此问题。出于不明原因，侧载（Sideloading）该应用似乎不会触发此行为，因为我们在上述 Razr (2026) 上手动安装更新版本时，并未观察到同样的情况。
In further digging, we noticed that the URL the phone opens up is “kira-abboud.com,” a website that references fashion influencer “@kirasfashionfinds.” Notably, this exact URL isn’t listed anywhere on Abboud’s social media, and the affiliate codes don’t match up either. The redirect coming from Motorola phones is using Amazon affiliate code “sramz-kff-008-20” which is completely different from any of the codes we saw from links shared by Abboud’s accounts and linked websites.
经过进一步挖掘，我们注意到手机打开的 URL 是“kira-abboud.com”，这是一个指向时尚博主“@kirasfashionfinds”的网站。值得注意的是，该 URL 并未出现在这位博主的任何社交媒体账号上，且联盟代码也对不上。摩托罗拉手机跳转使用的亚马逊联盟代码是“sramz-kff-008-20”，这与我们在该博主账号及相关网站分享的链接中看到的任何代码都完全不同。
Why would Motorola try to hijack Amazon affiliate revenue and pipe it through a fashion influencer? We don’t know – it’s all very strange and makes little sense. We’ve reached out to Motorola for comment and will update this article as soon as we hear more.
摩托罗拉为什么要劫持亚马逊的联盟收入，并通过一位时尚博主进行分流？我们不得而知——这一切非常奇怪且毫无逻辑。我们已联系摩托罗拉寻求置评，一旦收到回复，我们将立即更新本文。
In the meantime, we can do two things. Firstly, show you how to turn this off. Since this behavior is stemming from a pre-installed Motorola app, you can just disable it (Settings > Apps > search “Smart Feed” > Disable). As far as we can tell, this has no immediate impact on your device and, on our affected Razr Fold, it immediately stops the redirect.
在此期间，我们可以做两件事。首先，教大家如何关闭此功能。由于该行为源自摩托罗拉预装的应用，你只需将其禁用即可（设置 > 应用 > 搜索“Smart Feed” > 禁用）。据我们所知，这不会对设备产生直接影响，在我们受影响的 Razr Fold 上，禁用后跳转行为立即停止了。
Secondly, we can speculate as to what’s going on – and that’s what the following is, speculation and conjecture. While many would quickly, understandably, point the finger at Motorola here, my gut says something else is going on, and that it might not be a decision Motorola actually planned out. The redirect through a seemingly fake website and affiliate code of an influencer that has no obvious ties to Motorola is just too bizarre to ignore. Hopefully, we’ll get more details from Motorola in the near future.
其次，我们可以推测一下发生了什么——以下仅为猜测。虽然很多人会理所当然地指责摩托罗拉，但我的直觉告诉我，事情可能另有隐情，这或许并非摩托罗拉主动策划的决策。通过一个看似虚假的网站以及一个与摩托罗拉毫无关联的博主的联盟代码进行跳转，实在太过离奇。希望在不久的将来，我们能从摩托罗拉那里得到更多细节。
