Google has been reportedly sued for $5M in crypto theft, which was lost through an alleged ‘malicious’ wallet app download from the firm’s Play Store. According to the victim, Maria Vaca, she downloaded the app from the Play Store, as she thought that the wallet app was legitimate. However, the app allegedly ‘turned malicious’ and vanished with her $5 million worth of crypto assets. The plaintiff has reportedly opted for legal redressal through a California state court to challenge the tech giant for allowing malicious apps in its Play Store platform.
