DefiLlama delayed mobile launch over phishing apps on Apple Store, founder says
Summary
DefiLlama delayed its mobile app launch for months while pressuring Apple to remove phishing apps that impersonated the analytics platform. Founder 0xngmi said the team waited until the fake apps were taken down to reduce the risk of users being scammed. One malicious app reportedly stayed up for months, but Apple removed it within days after DefiLlama downloaded it and documented a small wallet drain. The issue reflects a broader pattern of fake crypto apps appearing in major app stores, including imitations of Rabby, Curve Finance, and Ledger Live.
