IMPORTANT: Multiple fake wallets making it to the Apple App Store, potentially stealing user funds

Fri Aug 05, 2016 12:33 am

A fake breadwallet app using the same title and icon as the real breadwallet made it through Apple’s review process and was added to the App Store on July 29th. We took immediate action and had it removed, although a few users who inadvertently downloaded the fake app have reported having funds stolen from it. We’ve noticed more suspicious apps being added to the App Store, using breadwallet’s source code and sometimes infringing on other app’s copyrights.

Here are the new wallets we’ve noticed so far with their exact naming. Please be cautious:

Thank you very much. This is a serious threat to all iPhone and iPad users.
I guess that you have already contacted apple about it. I've looked some of these up in the appstore but they are still available. I hope apple block them soon.

I've tweeted the link to your forum thread for more visibility:
