Group-IB discovered fraudulent iOS and Android apps (attributed to the ‘UniShadowTrade’ family) used in global ‘pig butchering’ investment scams: the apps mimicked legitimate trading platforms, collected identity documents, redirected victims to invitation-only fake trading sites, and used social engineering (including dating apps) to extract funds; after app-store takedowns the operators moved to phishing websites, indicating ongoing distribution and financial/identity theft risk.
