List of scam/fake wallets & Add new verdict for them (scam/fake/malicious)
Currently fake/scam/malicious wallets don't have verdict for themself (will be defunct or wip, or added [fake] in name, but still in category that contain mostly "kinda legit" wallets...) it's better to move them to new verdict called: scam/fake/malicious, which will include only harmful apps, also it's useful to monitor how much time it takes for them be removed from Stores after reporting them (which is relevant only for harmful apps...)
below small list of new MAYBE & PROBABLY fake/scam wallets.
- Maybe fake app of binance app?!
Bian:Bitcoin Wallet-Virtual currency https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xmzys.binance73
- Maybe fake app of bitorzo wallet:
etherio.wallet.com https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=etherio.wallet.com looks like fake/copy of bitorzo wallet (reusing images/logo/name, etc...)
opened issue upstream (for com.bitorzo.wallet
) with more details at: https://github.com/Bitorzo/Bitorzo/issues/6
- Fake wallets of jaxx
jaxx appid is: com.liberty.jaxx https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liberty.jaxx jaxx.io website.
3.1 com.pjaxx.walletmudul - Jaxx Liberty Bitcoin Wallet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pjaxx.walletmudul jaxx.com website.
3.2 wallet.jax.bnc.com - Jaxx Liberty:New Wallet BTC ETH https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wallet.jax.bnc.com upside down logo of jaxx.
- Maybe fake app of atomicwallet:
Atomic wallet appid is io.atomicwallet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.atomicwallet with website: atomicwallet.io
While the fake app "Crypto Wallet & Atomic swap DEX" with appid: com.atomicwallet.newapp.safe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.atomicwallet.newapp.safe Use upside down Logo of atomic wallet, and the website mentioned is: atomicwallet.com
Second review content is:
Most likely steals your wallet. Why would anyone ever enter their private seed phrase into an untrusted app like this? Good on the developers if people are going to hand over their wallet to them.
- fake app of Coinomi Wallet
coinomi wallet appid: com.coinomi.wallet https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinomi.wallet
Fake appid: com.apptrack.coinom
Coinom Wallet : Bitcoin Ethereum Altcoins Tokens
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptrack.coinom
Defunct verdict contain legit apps like:
- Lightning Labs wallets which change the name to: "Lightning (Remove Funds by Dec 31st)" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=engineering.lightning.LightningMainnet marked as defunct in walletscuritny: https://walletscrutiny.com/android/engineering.lightning.LightningMainnet/ The app still exists in GooglePlay
- MobileLN, link to GooglePlay return not-found, opened issue about it: https://github.com/hihidev/MobileLN/issues/2
But also contain many scams/fakes that need to be moved to new verdict like:
At the risk of being paranoid this smells too much like a scam with zero accountability to not call it defunct.
