Beware of fake Uniswap applications

With the recent uptake and hype around cryptocurrencies, a similar trend is being observed with crypto related scams increasingly advancing its techniques and being more clever at catching both new and intermediate users off guards. The recent report from Nuggets News founder Alex Saunders reports on a fake Android app which has cost a loss of $20,000 to one of its members. https://twitter.com/AlexSaundersAU/status/1329561975471259649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1329561975471259649%7Ctwgr%5E&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.publish0x.com%2Fembed%2Ftwitter%2Ftweet%3Fid%3D1329561975471259649

The application called Uniswap DEX has hundreds of positive reviews and lures Android users to input their wallet's private key after installation and reportedly draining all the users funds.

To make things worse because of the fake review inflation during past month the application currently appears on third position when looking up "Uniswap" on the Google's PlayStore. Upon launching the application the user is presented with a very basic user interface prompting for the victims private key or seed phrase upfront which is then sent over to the attacker's remote server and drained out of funds. With that, users should be always on a watch out when being asked to input their private keys with many applications in the wild awaiting for preys to fall into the trap.   **Related Reading** Binance begins a legal action over Forbes defamantion of its business https://www.publish0x.com/ircrp/binance-begins-a-legal-action-over-forbes-defamantion-of-its-xpjdjdz?a=M7e5yEPRe2&tid=rr Binance begins closure of US customers accounts https://www.publish0x.com/ircrp/binance-begins-closure-of-us-customers-accounts-xnlryor?a=M7e5yEPRe2&tid=rr Uniswap site was down because of dependency on Cloudflare, is this really a big problem ? https://www.publish0x.com/ircrp/uniswap-site-was-down-because-of-dependency-on-cloudflare-is-xzyovjp Critical Etherum services go down for couple of hours https://www.publish0x.com/ircrp/critical-etherum-services-go-down-for-couple-of-hours-xnlryrd?a=M7e5yEPRe2&tid=rr Wall Street Trading Firm is accumulating Bitcoins & Alts https://www.publish0x.com/ircrp/wall-street-trading-firm-is-accumulating-bitcoins-and-alts-xkkopkg?a=M7e5yEPRe2&tid=rr Bitcoin miners best profitability cycle since last halving https://www.publish0x.com/ircrp/bitcoin-miners-best-profitability-cycle-since-last-halving-xzyonly?a=M7e5yEPRe2&tid=rr Scam Alert: Ledger SMS https://www.publish0x.com/ircrp/scam-alert-ledger-sms-xgderne?a=M7e5yEPRe2&tid=rr Ledger phishing emails https://www.publish0x.com/ircrp/ledger-phishing-emails-xllmyoz?a=M7e5yEPRe2&tid=rr Bitcoin Network hash rate bounces back https://www.publish0x.com/ircrp/bitcoin-network-hash-rate-bounces-back-xgderkg?a=M7e5yEPRe2&tid=rr Google discloses a Windows Zero-Day vulnerability https://www.publish0x.com/ircrp/google-discloses-a-windows-zero-day-vulnerability-xllmnen?a=M7e5yEPRe2&tid=rr Bitcoin Network is getting clogged up  https://www.publish0x.com/ircrp/bitcoin-network-is-getting-clogged-up-xpjqrkg   **Ongoing crypto free earn campaigns:** Earn daily through publish0x by tipping & posting, lbry.tv by watching video & media content and presearch for a non intrusive search engine https://www.publish0x.com/register?a=M7e5yEPRe2&tid=reg https://lbry.tv/$/invite/@ircrp:3 https://presearch.org/signup?rid=1909039 Honeygain & Theta Edge for passive gains through participating in content delivery networks https://r.honeygain.me/IRCRP91E5D https://medium.com/paradigm-fund/theta-network-edge-node-the-latest-evolution-of-the-edge-cacher-released-theta-hackathon-d0b00169f29b **Other crypto gateways:** Most popular & rewarding exchanges currently include Swissborg, Binance, Coinbase, Celsius & Crypto.com https://join.swissborg.com/r/adrianGE53 https://www.binance.com/en/register?ref=IJB21ZRR https://coinbase.com/earn/xlm/invite/73nm6rgz https://celsiusnetwork.app.link/163140cbc1 https://crypto.com/app/msagh7w9qq For industry standard secure hardware wallets consider using Ledger or Trezor to keep your funds safe. http://ledger.refr.cc/ircrp1 https://trezor.io/#comparison Resources https://twitter.com/AlexSaundersAU/status/1329561975471259649
