A new cybersecurity alert has sent shockwaves across the crypto community. According to a report by Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs (CRIL), over 20 fake cryptocurrency wallet apps have been found on Google Play Store. These apps are designed to steal users’ wallet recovery phrases, putting their entire crypto balance at serious risk.
🚨 Why Are These Apps Dangerous?These malicious apps are disguised as legitimate crypto wallet tools. Their primary objective is to trick users into entering their 12-word recovery phrase — a critical key that allows access and restoration of any crypto wallet. Once this phrase is compromised, hackers gain complete control over the user’s digital assets and can transfer all funds without detection.
