三名加密用户在美国加州起诉苹果,称其因 iOS App Store 上一款假冒的 Sparrow Wallet 应用损失合计 180 万美元比特币。诉讼称,这款应用在 2025 年 5 月至 8 月期间以官方钱包名义上架,诱导用户输入助记词,随后相关资金被转走。

三名用户分别报损

报道显示,三名原告的损失分别为 87.5 万美元、84 万美元和 12 万美元,均为比特币。原告称,他们之所以相信该应用,与其出现在苹果应用商店并被纳入加密货币相关推荐分类有关。

Sparrow Wallet 实际上是一款仅支持桌面端的钱包软件,适用于 Windows、macOS 和 Linux,并没有官方 iPhone 版本。诉讼认为,普通用户难以识别这一差异,假冒应用因此获得了额外可信度。

开发者称多次举报未果

Sparrow Wallet 官方开发者 Craig Raw 表示,他多年来一直尝试向苹果举报商店中的仿冒应用,但处理并不顺利。更具争议的是,他曾试图上传一款仅含文字说明的应用,提醒 iOS 用户不存在官方移动版,结果反而被苹果认定存在风险,并威胁暂停其开发者账户。

原告认为,苹果长期将 App Store 描述为“安全且值得信赖”的平台,但在这起事件中,平台既未阻止假冒应用上架,也未有效区分官方开发者与仿冒者。

苹果称已移除涉事应用

苹果没有就正在进行的诉讼作出具体评论,但其代表表示,涉事欺诈应用已经被移除,相关开发者账户也已被关闭。苹果同时强调,公司在 2025 年拦截了超过 22 亿美元的欺诈性应用交易,并封禁了 19.3 万个恶意开发者账户。

这并非苹果生态近期首次出现类似事件。报道提到,约三个月前,一款假冒 Ledger Live 的应用曾导致 Mac 用户损失约 950 万美元。

补充信息:Sparrow Wallet 官方产品仅提供桌面版本,没有 iOS 移动端应用,这也是本案识别假冒应用的核心事实之一。
