๐จSHOCKING FAKE PHANTOM WALLET IN THE APPLE APPSTORE
Urgent Warning: Fake Phantom Wallet on Apple App Store Draining Usersโ Funds! A dangerous scam is lurking on the Apple App Store, targeting unsuspecting crypto enthusiasts. The fraudulent app, masquerading as the popular Phantom wallet, is developed by a company named Voxify AI. Despite its authentic appearance, this fake Phantom wallet has already caused significant financial losses
Users have reported that the app looks identical to the real Phantom wallet, making it hard to distinguish at first glance. However, there are critical differences. Once downloaded, the app only allows users to import an existing wallet rather than creating a new one. ๐จThis is a red flag. Users input their seed phrases, thinking they're accessing their genuine wallets, they're unknowingly handing over their keys to scammers.
The reviews under the app are filled with warnings like โscam app,โ โthis is not the real #Phantom app,โ and โthis app will drain your wallet.โ It's shocking that this fake app has been on the App Store for two weeks, given how stringent Appleโs app approval process is, especially for crypto wallets. The fact that such a deceptive app bypassed these checks raises serious questions about an #Apple inside job and demands a thorough investigation.
Victims have already lost substantial amounts of money to this scam. Users must be cautious and verify the legitimacy of crypto wallets before downloading them. If you've installed this fake Phantom wallet, remove it immediately and change your wallet credentials to secure your funds.
Stay vigilant, spread the word, and help prevent more people from falling victim to this appalling scam. Authorities need to step in and remove this app from the App Store promptly. Your awareness and caution are your first lines of defense against such #scam schemes!
Thanks to German Amber and Ali Devici for investigating my 100.000$ loss / Phantom Hack! I did not get hacked this way!
Stay SAFE!

Apple Delays AI Launch in EU Over Regulatory Concerns
Apple hit the brakes on releasing its new AI features, "Apple Intelligence," iPhone Mirroring, and SharePlay Screen Sharing, in the European Union. This delay impacts hundreds of millions of users and stems from concerns about the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA).
Apple argues the DMA's interoperability requirements could force them to weaken their products' security, potentially compromising user privacy and data protection. The company anticipates a formal warning from EU regulators due to past issues. Earlier this year, Apple received a hefty โฌ1.8 billion fine for allegedly preventing apps from directing users to cheaper subscription services, a practice the DMA aims to curb.
This delay is seen as Apple's response to the EU's stricter regulations on app store practices and data privacy.

Apple's revenue slightly increases, Amazon exceeds expectations๐
Stock markets were reluctantly dragged lower, with SPX falling to -0.8% day's lows, before recovering to close roughly unchanged as equities braced for Apple and Amazon earnings double-header after the close. Apple disappointed early on with slightly higher revenues offset by weaker iPhone sales, with management forecasting Q4 performance to continue the decline from Q3. On the other hand, Amazon beat expectations with the stock rising +10% in the after-hours on strong beats in revenue, earnings, and positive Q3 forecasts thanks to stabilizing growth rates in AWS. Finally, management mentioned that high inflation continues to weigh on consumers and they are seeing "down trading" on brand options as shoppers have turned more price sensitive.

Binance.US Partners with MoonPay for USD Transactions ๐๐ป
Binance.US, following the loss of banking ties, has teamed up with #MoonPay to reintroduce a U.S. dollar on-ramp. The exchange now offers users the ability to purchase the U.S. Dollar-pegged stablecoin Tether (USDT) through this partnership, enabling transactions and interactions in USD.

Removal of #Damus increases tension between users and #Apple for not allowing $BTC
The social networks and community of Damus users questioned Apple's policies. They questioned not allowing the use of #Bitcoin as aid to oppressed collectives or as financial instruments. One of the most critical was Preston Pysh:
"Hey @tim_cook. Clearly understand that there is no greater sign of communication than real open and free prices for all goods and services. Support #Bitcoin and stop the insanity of the authorized gatekeepers. The last to act will be the most punished. tick, tock, next block!".
Damus tweeted on June 26 that it was still being removed from the app store. Even after updating its app to "make it clear that no digital content is unlocked when users receive tips."

Google Will Let Android Play Store Games and Apps Offer NFTs!
#Google is making changes to its Play Store policies to accommodate blockchain games and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in an effort to create a safe and transparent experience for users. The tech giant recently announced new rules that will allow and regulate blockchain games and apps on the Play Store, with a full rollout expected by the end of the year.
Under the new policy, developers of blockchain games will be required to disclose the game's blockchain status on its content page. If in-app products have corresponding NFTs, developers must make that clear to users. Unlike Apple, Google will allow NFTs to unlock in-app content, regardless of where the NFT was purchased.
Google's approach to #blockchain gaming is cautious yet open-minded. Developers will be able to implement NFTs and other crypto integrations as long as they adhere to Google's policies on real-money gambling, games, and contests. They are not allowed to promote or glamorize crypto or NFT trading activities. In-game NFTs can be offered to players, but wagering and sweepstakes are prohibited. #NFTs should be used to enhance the user's gaming experience and cannot be used for gambling or staking purposes.
Google also prohibits apps that mine cryptocurrency on users' devices, although it allows apps that facilitate remote management of crypto mining activities on other devices. The rollout of Google's blockchain game rules will happen gradually, with visible effects expected in the summer.
Google is collaborating with select game developers, including Mythical Games and Reddit, to refine and iterate its #NFT policies. While these partnerships are currently limited, all developers will be able to build games in accordance with Google's new crypto gaming policies later this year.
In contrast, Apple's App Store has been more restrictive in its approach to NFTs and crypto. Although developers can use NFTs in iOS games and apps, #Apple takes a 30% commission on transactions. This has led some developers to offer NFTs at higher prices on iOS to cover Apple's fees.
Will SpaceCatch also benefit from this?
The game SpaceCatch aims to be a leader in the field of metaverse games. By incorporating modern technologies such as the metaverse, blockchain, and NFTs, in combination with the traditional gaming industry, it offers players a completely new gaming experience.
One significant advantage is that, unlike Web 2.0 games, SpaceCatch allows players to fully own in-game items through NFT and blockchain technology. The game will create a comprehensive gaming ecosystem with a realistic economy that enables players to earn real money by playing the game.
In traditional games, the game itself takes all the profits and earnings from players. However, decentralization is crucial in the metaverse and Web 3.0 world, which is why the creators of SpaceCatch have decided to relinquish some of the game's revenue and redistribute it directly among the players.
