A scammer got a fake version of Exodus wallet in Canonical’s Ubuntu Snap Store. This fake scam wallet drained 9 Bitcoins (worth nearly half a million USD) from a user. This article goes over the CEO's shocking and ludicrous response regarding KYC, crypto, and open source dev work: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/ubuntu-crypto-snap-scam/

@prancing389 @SummerBreeze is not the OS developer duty to do quality check on every third party app and its subsequent version updates. This consumes a lot of time for OS developers which should be focusing on OS development.
This stifles development and adoption for both the OS and third party apps. What OS developers should do is to check the authenticity of every app. Like flatpak is doing with verified apps.
Sure but this can be communicated better to the user's expectations
