A Florida woman, Maria Vaca, has sued Google in California state court, alleging that a cryptocurrency wallet app she downloaded from the Google Play Store was malicious and led to the theft of $5 million in cryptocurrency.
Vaca claims the Yobit Pro app exploited Google's marketing, portraying the Play Store as a safe platform, leading to her loss.
The lawsuit raises questions about whether Google knew about the scam and how long the app remained on the platform. Vaca’s complaint includes claims of negligence, false promises, and violations of California’s false advertising and consumer protection laws.
This case highlights a broader trend of cybercriminals using cryptocurrencies to defraud individuals, underscoring the need for tighter regulation and oversight in the cryptocurrency industry.
