Indeed, look! I can't even believe that the fake app got a perfect 5 star from 146 feedbacks Roll Eyes. And I think there are only two possible reasons for that: either the app perfectly copied the original or those 146 people are just paid to tell good reviews. Nonetheless, Play Store must act because what seems right now is that even them are not immune from malicious attacks. Such loopholes make me appreciate iOS more.
They most likely are paid reviews. There are more than enough places to buy them from, and it's a shame that you can literally launch a malicious app on a platform that is supposed to be trusted and get fake positive reviews for a matter of bucks.

Google needs to step up their shit. I used to frequently crap at Apple for their App Store being super restrictive and for their OS being a "walled garden", but I've recently been advocating for the usage of iPhones for non-tech literate friends and family due to crap like this.
Agreed. From ads to fake YouTube giveaways to fake, malicious software on their own services, it's getting really annoying. I would have probably trusted that app if I saw the rating it has, it's one of the factors I consider - only few check source codes.. I usually go to the official websites I need to get something from and get the Play Store link from over there.

Exactly, there used to be many haters of Apple's App Store and IOS for that matter, but look at how Google turns out to be. I move from Windows based laptop, enjoying my 2 year old MacBook. Recently, there's been a lot of attacks using Google's platform, and it's been a dangerous place to download anything.

I think that's what's great about Apple Store it's that it's not an easy task to get there and they are verifying the apps that go there. It's safe for the non-tech-savvy people who don't have knowledge with regards to possible scams that they could encounter.
Yeap. It might be a pain in the ass to get your apps into the iOS App Store if you're a developer, but the App Store is tight for a good reason.

Unless the person Jailbreaks their Apple Devices and installs from unverified sources of apps, which would be dangerous, lol.
True. But in the end it's mostly the tech-savvy people who jailbreaks their iPhones anyway, so we probably can assume that they(at least most) know what they're doing in the first place. On the other hand I know a lot of people that own Android phones that installs random .APKs of cracked apps. Yikes.

[..snip..]

It is still up in the Google play, you need to copy what the OP has put.

Need people to report this malicious apps, it is still being downloaded 169x as we speak. And those reviews are obviously fake.

When I checked on Google Play Store I did not find a similar application that you mean by the application developer"mew limited" maybe the application has been blocked by the Google Play Store.

I only found the official application from mew with the name of the developer "MyEtehrWallet" and the application is original and can be checked directly through the website MyEtherwallet.com



But there are also other suspicious MEW applications like the ones I marked below. "Mew Wallet Beta".

This is a warning, there seems to be a fake MEW apps again on Google Play.





Code:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mew.manager.app&hl=en

Been downloaded 160++ times already (including myself, but just to test it). And by looking closely at the code:

Edit:

Archive: http://archive.is/aTRca



So it will ask for your private keys and other secret keys,

Code:
mewapp.ltd/login/

Then it will be over, cyber criminals have the info to steal your coins.
