DeFiLlama says Apple removed fake App Store app after theft evidence was submitted

DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi said the team deliberately funded a wallet linked to a fake DeFiLlama app on Apple’s App Store and allowed the app to steal the funds in order to collect hard evidence. According to the disclosure, Apple removed the app within days after receiving proof of the theft. Before that, the DeFiLlama team had repeatedly reported the app to Apple for trademark infringement, but had received no response for months. During that period, the team also delayed the release of its own official app to avoid confusing users. Public information about the developer behind the fake app has not been disclosed, and 0xngmi did not provide the amount sent from the sacrificial wallet or the exact timing of the test. The account was cited by CryptoBriefing.
