IPHONE & ANDROID USERS NEEDS TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFULL

[martychubbs]

You have made a very good point. Not many people notice that and fall for the scams that are this easy yet very much effective. Many people think that how can a person fall for that, but eventually people do. It’s a very smart way for scammers to con others and hack their wallets for money. Thank you for this post and for making everyone aware.

Thanks for the post, but store include fake cryptocurrency wallet is well known, cryptocurrency newbies always get scammed because they don't have any knowledge about that. From my side I don't think mobile wallet is a safe place to store our crypto assets, but hardware wallet is our first choice.

For those who are using iPhone and androids be careful ,their are some crypto mobile wallets on store that aren't popular or well knowned ,please do not use them ,some of this apps have keyloggers pre installed ,they will easily steal your backup phrase

Especially those named 'bitcoin wallet' like in the picture below, they are well rated and they are in different colors



Head to playstore or iOS store and type in just 'bitcoin wallet' you will see many fake bitcoin wallets popping up ,go for popular mobile wallets like coinomi ,trust ,enjin ,mycelium ,coinbase ,bitpay ,copay,bread ,jaxx or atomic wallet.

it turns out that it is quite dangerous to download the lesser-known wallet application in the play store, thank you very much for helping me avoid the fake wallet application  which can harm users of the cryptocurrency wallet themselves,This at least with a little info reduces the risk of losing coins

Thank you for the advice of the OP, indeed there are now many fake applications that resemble bitcoin wallets in the playstore or appstore. The application developers are targeting beginners who don't know anything, well it's better to download the bitcoin wallet through its official site, it's safer.

I only use one wallet on the phone that is trustwallet. This is the best app I know, I've used it since May 2018 and until now it's still great and getting better every day

Yes keyloggers can do serious damage to us and also they can steal our bank details and steal ou money which maybe come with any apps so please watch wha are the permissions they are asking for before installing it or clicking next while installing.

[timmmers]

10 000 downloads  Haha, you create one fake app and you'll never have to go to work again, when you rob all that people.
This is a big problem for massive adoption, scam is on the every corner and newcomers could lose their money very fast.

[shoreno]

yep there are many fake wallet apps nowadays and some apps looks like an official wallet, but no they are just to pretend the real one be careful.

there are fan made apps about the original app/wallet but they are not official or its not been made by the real company  . some are legit while be careful on some because they might have viruses or malwares that can steal your credentials  . there are also crypto wallet and crypto apps that are not popular . its not bad to try those indie ones  but still be careful on what your downloading for and make sure that you always scan them before installing  or download only on the google/apple store  .

I always thought that the scammers would find a scheme, regardless of the degree of protection, in order to fool unknowing users. I would advise not to distribute the private key of the wallet anywhere else - only to METAMASK or MyEtherWallet, and then check the correctness of the site! Every day, due to inattention, cryptocurrency is lost from users' wallets!

[asbak66]

Well I only download some applications who have good reputation before, like coinomi, trust wallet, enjin wallet and the others
And I never heard about this app before so I think people isn't gonna install unknown application like that for store their coin.

why use a new wallet if the old wallet is safer and more trustworthy, don't be easily affected by the new wallet that doesn't have a clear purpose. good information for miners to be more careful in choosing a wallet because it is important for the storage of assets that we have.

But lot of new people were adopting cryptos so they will type bitcoin wallet on google or playstore and they will be given thousands of results  but they don't know what is scam and what is legit.

Thanks for the tip, it's a sad fact that many people do not pay attention to things like this and they end up losing valuable funds, and this happens to newbies most times because they do not know the kind of Cryptocurrencies wallet to download, so they just go to playstore and search for what they want and download whatever pops up.

[bitcon]

Thank for share this, is really usefull for newbies who don't know or for not so tech people to avoid install this software and lose money or get some malware which can steal other data.

First of all, try not to deal with smartphones and tablets when you work with the cryptocurrencies. It is proved already that using mobile devices, people make more mistakes. The simplest explanation for it is the size of the screen. besides, free suspicious applications must be avoided, even if they are offered at Google Play Market. Scam apps have come even there.

I am not worried about third-party strange, useless new wallets in app and google. What worries me most is the other applications on my phone, some of which have full access to settings and the file system.

[zero714309]

I dont know how play store filter their application but if we look at the high rating what dev doing at the application ? Why they can get high rating easily? Im confused. Any bug on play store or what ? You know all of us always look at rating,if rating doing great that mean those application work really good. Nice you share this information but personally im type of person with high evaluate before using application.

Indeed,almost all applications do that too and you're right sometimes the bad things come from the unexpected application. Full of risk. We need more aware because we had a important thing on our phone.

[carrigan]

Very good information and it can be one of the considerations when going to use the applications. So far, we may only follow what some teams or people suggest. With this information, we can consider the positive and negative sides of using a certain application, especially on the iPhone and Android. So far, many projects or coins need us to download or use certain application in the mobile or cellular phone and we only follow the instruction. However, sometimes, we don't consider the negative sides that may happen.

It is true not only for Iphone, and Android devices but is true for all kind of mobile devices, no  matter which operation system they use. Mobile devices, basically, are more vulnerable to attacks, rather than laptop and computers. People are ususally pay less funds and less attention to protect their mobile devices with antivirus softwares, for example.

[romecheo]

A mobile application can easily modify and mimic the original or legit apps. If you won't be cautious, you may be the next victim.

If you really wanted to try some crypto wallet, go to their trusted sites. However, storing your precious carpets on mobile is too risky.

The most advisable way to keep your crypto, either by hardware wallet or use offline wallet.

[peterlustig]

Damn keyloggers in the apps that are found in the AppStore and playstore that's pretty serious, don't apple/google check for bad codes before hosting the application on their respective stores? If not then they should definitely start doing that because we trust them to give us trusted applications.
