Cybersecurity Researchers Find 20 Crypto-Phishing Apps on Google Play Store: Check List
A team of cybersecurity researchers have found over 20 apps on the Google Play Store which were targeting cryptocurrency wallet users. According to a report by a cybersecurity research firm, these crypto-phishing applications impersonated legitimate crypto wallets such as Hyperliquid, PancakeSwap, and Raydium. Threat actors leveraged phishing tactics and compromised or repurposed developer accounts, forcing users to enter their 12-word mnemonic phrase in a false wallet interface and gaining access to their real wallets.
