ME News reports that on August 15 (UTC+8), 0xngmi, founder of DeFiLlama, posted on X questioning Apple’s App Store review process. He stated that his team had spent months attempting to get Apple to remove a counterfeit DeFiLlama app, but previous complaints regarding trademark infringement and impersonation of an official app had not been effectively addressed. Eventually, the DeFiLlama team downloaded and used the fake app themselves, deposited a small amount of funds into it, and as expected, suffered theft of their wallet assets. After confirming the app’s malicious behavior, they submitted another report to Apple, leading to the app’s removal within several days. (Source: ODAILY)
