Google sued over malicious crypto wallet app on Play Store that stole $5 million from users

Maria Vaca, a Florida woman, has sued Google in a California state court, alleging that a cryptocurrency wallet app she downloaded from the Google Play Store was malware that led to the theft of $5 million worth of cryptocurrency. Vaca claims that the app, called Yobit Pro, took advantage of Google's marketing strategy of portraying the Play Store as a safe platform, leading to her losses. The lawsuit raises questions about whether Google was aware of the scam app and its duration on the platform. Vaca's allegations include negligence, estoppel, and violations of California's false advertising and consumer protection laws. (Bitcoin.com)
