I've been writing apps for a long time. They are usually free/Tier 1 apps. A while back, I was approached by a [NATION OBFUSCATED] developer, asking to buy up one of my older apps (they are all open-source). I ignored the request, and reported the approach to Apple, as I'm sure that this actor has been doing the same for many other apps. This is apparently a common method for malware-slingers. They buy established, older apps, that they assume the developer has abandoned (I hadn't abandoned it, but it's a simple app that hardly ever needs tweaking. If I stop supporting an app, I remove it from the store). They then "update" the app, with a little "extra flavoring." |
