Fake crypto wallet apps are showing up on people’s Android and Apple phones thanks to an elaborate scheme uncovered by ESET researchers that has been operating since May last year.
Research by cyber security firm ESET has uncovered a “sophisticated scheme” that disseminates Trojan apps disguised as popular cryptocurrency wallets.
The firm also discovered 13 malicious apps impersonating the Jaxx Liberty wallet, available on the Google Play Store.

13 Things J.Crew's Olympia Gayot Would Buy Again'This is part of a suit that comes with a pant. It's a cornsilk color that's almost like a pale yellow. When I started at J.Crew last year, I designed a very drapey, unstructured silk suit as part of a collection idea. I love the idea that if you're going to a party you don't have to wear a dress.
