A fraudulent Android app named “WallConnect” mimicking WalletConnect was distributed via Google Play for five months, gained over 10,000 downloads, and redirected users to a malicious site that prompted transaction approvals, enabling attackers to steal cryptocurrencies. Check Point researchers attribute at least 150 victims and over $70,000 in losses; the app was reported to Google and removed.
