This incident is awful! App Store should always do a background check of financial applications because there might be some problems just like this. They should be held liable for any losses of the user.

This is why many people, especially those who are older, prefer avoiding cryptocurrency as an investment, as it has a lot of complex functions and a learning curve to set up one.

The app store should absolutely not be held liable for people's losses. If someone secretly plants uranium in your bag, should you be sent to prison as a terrorist? No! It's not you fault, it's the fault of the person that planted it on you obviously. It's not easy to catch scams in applications. It's usually incredibly difficult bordering on impossible.
