Apple's app-vetting procedures are under scrutiny following a week-long phishing campaign that resulted in the loss of at least $9.5m worth of Bitcoin, Ether, and other cryptocurrencies. The hackers created a cloned app called Ledger Live, using the former name of a legitimate wallet app for iOS and macOS, and managed to get it accepted by the Mac App Store. The scam affected over 50 victims and resulted in a loss of $2m, $2.1m, and $3.2m respectively. The app has now been removed from the App Store, but critics are questioning how it made it past Apple’s vetting process in the first place. It is also unclear how the fake app remained on the store for a fortnight before Apple took action. The incident occurred in the same week as the banning of Freecash, an app that was accused of harvesting data in a way that was manipulative and misleading.
