Fake Google Play Bitcoin Wallet To Steal Users Crypto

We have found a crypto stealing app that is listed under the name of Bitcoin Core – BTC Wallet and was downloaded over a thousand times.

The app is using Bitcoin.org contact details to appear legitimate and to trick users to download it. Once it’s installed, it will ask you to import your private keys/or to create a wallet, in both cases it will steal your crypto.

Fake contact detials
it supports multiple currencies as well!

We have tested it on a virtual Android emulator, we created an ETH wallet on the app and sent 0.001 Eth and it was gone!.

We have reported this app. Keep Your crypto safe.
