A rogue incarnation of popular altcoin wallet MyEtherWallet has finally disappeared from Apple’s App Store after gaining significant popularity.
Having risen to number three in the marketplace’s finance app category, Apple moderators at last removed the spurious MEW from sight.
Despite MEW itself not having an app and its desktop implementation being free to use, the fake charged $4.99 to download. Who would pay for a wallet App....alarm bells!!!
Developers sounded the alarm on social media Dec. 10, but it was not until more than a day later that Apple responded.
