An iPhone user ended up being severely harmed due to a fake application that he installed, which was present in the Apple App Store, because the IOS system was a rigid system he was not even careful to be concerned about it, and ended up downloading a fake application.

IPhone user Phillipe Christodoulou was looking for an application to monitor the Bitcoins in his wallet on his cell phone and searched for the term “Trezor”, the company responsible for the system he uses to mine it, and trusting the 5-star rating, maximum score in the app store, ended up going cold, because he didn't try to see if that app really belonged to the company in question or not, apparently he downloaded the app thinking it belonged to the company, but in fact it was fake, and he ended up losing it $ 600,000.

Although he gained notoriety, he was not the only one who was harmed by this fake application, other users also report having lost money due to this program.

And since the money he was earning from earning through Bitcoins was to save his company, he ended up suing Apple for allowing a fake app to enter the apple store. When contacting Apple, the company said that it has already made a complaint to the FBI and that it works to be able to have a solution to it, but of course the problem will be solved after the police find out who is behind this fake application.

When dealing with digital currency, any and all care is still little, you must be careful when downloading sites that are not as reliable as they seem.
