Scammers and hackers are all doing their business so well that they got the resources, money and tools to make things happen. The business must on boom for them ever since cryptocurrency came into the scene on the global scale. Now, my biggest question is how come Google Play has been fooled to allow the publication of such a fake app in the first place. This is quite a dangerous thing because there are millions of Android users all over the world, and they can be exposed to possible threat and scam. Google Play should come up with an explanation, and they must make sure that this another incident (this is not the first time, actually) should never happen again.
