What’s the problem with the title? The app did indeed include malware to gain a competitive advantage. Then it got banned.

HN Guidelines [1] require using original title, unless the original is misleading etc.

It does not matter what's the problem with this title, even if you make up a perfectly fine (and better in any aspect) title, it's still more appropriate to use the original title.

I believe the rule is specifically made for this case: you have different view on what's clickbait-y, or I didn't drink enough China-bad. That's the best way to prevent exaggerating.
