Apple’s App Store promoted fake Bitcoin wallet that stole $1.8M after developer spent a year warning them
- Apple’s App Store, the digital equivalent of a bouncer who lets the wolf in because he’s wearing a sheepskin coat, just got sued for $1.8M. A fake Sparrow Wallet app stole Bitcoin after the real dev warned Apple for a year. Apple’s response? “We removed it!” Congratulations, you caught the thief after he spent your money. This isn’t security; it’s a meat wallet harvesting operation disguised as quality control. While Kaspersky found 26 other impersonators targeting Chinese stores, US users are still getting roasted by apps ranked by Apple’s own algorithm. If your “trusted” source promotes malware, you’re not a platform; you’re an accomplice with better PR. Where's my cut?
