!! WARNING !! Wallets from apple store might steal your money !!

in bitcoin •  8 years ago 

Take care if you recently downloaded wallets from the apple store !

Don't trust 3rd party wallets. The same might be possible on google store !

A fake breadwallet app using the same title and icon as the real breadwallet made it through Apple’s review process and was added to the App Store on July 29th. We took immediate action and had it removed, although a few users who inadvertently downloaded the fake app have reported having funds stolen from it. We’ve noticed more suspicious apps being added to the App Store, using breadwallet’s source code and sometimes infringing on other app’s copyrights.

Here are the new wallets we’ve noticed so far with their exact naming. Please be cautious:

You need to be very careful with every wallet. Be it from Apple store, Google Play or where ever, it is very easy to inject them with viruses or give them functionality to steal your funds.
