Android users, delete this ‘dangerous’ crypto app from your phones

A cybersecurity company has spotted a malicious app on Google Play store that is designed to steal cryptocurrency. What makes this app so dangerous is that it has evaded detection for over 5 months before being removed from the store. It was first uploaded to Google Play in March 2024.
According to a report by Check Point Research, a crypto drainer app named WalletConnect – Airdrop Wallet has targeted Android mobile device users exclusively and used modern evasion techniques by posting as a legitimate tool for Web3 apps to avoid detection.
