      There’s been plenty of malicious apps found in the past. Though, I’m sure the play store isn’t much better. Disappointing that Apple will bend devs over a Barrel sometimes but they don’t find shit like this.

        I never said that there wasn’t any malicious apps on the App Store, just that this was the first one that I have heard about that actively tries to fake being the official one and managed to get vetted.

        I never said that this is the first dodgy app in the app store?

        I said that this is the first app I have heard about that pretends to be the official app that have gone through the vetting step on the App Store.
