Cryptocurrency wallets are tools that help users store digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). However, if not careful, users of e-wallets can become victims of scammers who specialize in stealing cryptocurrency (crypto drainers).

Cryptocurrency wallet developer Leather has issued a warning about a fake app on the App Store. The company said it does not offer any similar service on iOS, so users could have their digital assets stolen by using this fake tool.

"If you have entered your secret phrase into this fake app, you need to quickly transfer your cryptocurrency to another wallet," Leather warned, emphasizing, "Crooks can use this information to steal all of your digital assets."

BleepingComputer reports that several users have reported having their cryptocurrency stolen after using a fake Leather wallet. They claim they downloaded the app from the App Store without realizing it was fake and that it has not yet been disabled.

To steal digital assets, criminals still use familiar tricks such as posting about the application and giving fake "5-star" reviews to deceive users.

Along with the "multi-star" reviews, articles about fake apps also have many "positive comments", but in fact, they are all directed from A to Z by scammers.
