Estimated coin impact
Scores are not price-change percentages. High impact means a score of +70 or more, or -70 or less.
Yesterday, #Bankless co-founder @TrustlessState revealed that his friend also became a victim of a fake #Ledger wallet listed on the Apple Store. Fortunately, his friend’s $450K worth of #ETH was staked on Figment, and since unstaking required a queue, they worked with white hats and successfully front-ran the attacker via Flashbots to recover all the assets. But not everyone will be that lucky. Since last autumn, 26 malicious apps impersonating major wallets including Bitpie, Coinbase, imToken, Ledger, MetaMask, TokenPocket, and Trust Wallet have been listed on the Apple Store. These fake wallets have now been removed from the Apple Store, but this trend will inevitably continue, including on Google Play. For Chinese users in particular, almost all wallet-related results across Chinese-market search engines and app stores are fake wallets. Therefore, Web3 apps such as wallets and exchanges should only be downloaded through their official website entry points, and the correctness of the official website URL must be carefully verified. https://thehackernews.com/2026/04/26-fakewallet-apps-found-on-apple-app.html
