DeFiLlama Founder Criticizes Apple App Store Review After Fake App Theft

0xngmi reports months of ignored complaints about a fake DeFiLlama app. Assets were stolen after testing the malicious app, leading to its eventual removal by Apple.

Woofun AI reports that 0xngmi, founder of DeFiLlama, publicly questioned Apple's app store review mechanisms on X. He stated that his team spent months attempting to report a counterfeit application impersonating DeFiLlama, but prior complaints regarding trademark infringement and unauthorized usage were not adequately resolved.

The DeFiLlama team subsequently downloaded and interacted with the fraudulent app, depositing a small sum of funds. As anticipated, their wallet assets were stolen. Following this confirmation of the app's malicious intent, they submitted a new complaint to Apple, resulting in the fake app's removal from the store within days.
