According to BlockBeats, on September 28, according to a report by Checkpoint Research, a fake wallet app that had been on the Google Play Store for four months stole more than $70,000 worth of cryptocurrency in a phishing attack, and was subsequently reported and removed from the store. The malware impersonated WalletConnect, directing users who were not wary of the official store to other websites, tricking users into authorizing transactions and gaining access to funds. The fake app was downloaded 10,000 times in total, and 150 people were fooled.
