Security Alert: Google Play Store

in #hive-177682 • 2 years ago

I randomly Googled an @peakd app to see if they had one and I came across this app published by "Wow Developer". Now I reached out to @asgarth to aasked if they had an app and its clear.

Peakd DOES NOT HAVE AN APP. We don't know if this these apps are Secure or if they have scammy apps stealing your keys!

If you have an app from "wow deveopler" you should delete the apps and change your keys right away. I can only find these apps on Google Play not Apple Store.

I have also reached out to the @leofinance team, so they are awere aswell!
I have just reached out to @chrisrice aswell..

Does anyone know who to reach out to when it comes to @waivio ?
Or Splinterlands talk?
How about Hiveblog?

        Google Playstore isn't as strict as The Apple Store, so these things can quite easily get through the cracks though.

        You are welcome! :D

                I think its a balance. Apple can be a pain the ass to work with because of all of their security things

                                        Thank you very much for the update.

                                        We need to go over there and flag those apps, so that they can be taken down by the Google play store.
