Reminder for anyone with keepass on iOS, make sure it isn’t the malware one. I had it and had to change all my passwords

There's malware on the iOS app store?

What's the point of all that garden-walling and 30% tax and hoops you have to jump through if there's still malware?

It happens sometimes [1] [2]. Reduced malware and quick removal is all you can hope for.

I have an app in the Play Store and received some unsolicited requests to install (and get paid for!) adding some extra jar file to my app and hosting someone else's apps in my account. Attackers put in a lot of effort to sneak in.

Having fewer malware would still be a worthy goal. That said, I’m not defending the App Store. It’s still riddled with junk, ads, casinos for children in the form of free-to-play games, and adult casinos disguised as children’s games.
