A fake Poloniex app has been created as a phishing tool...

Poloniex, the popular cryptocurrency exchange recently acquired by Circle, has issued a warning to its users. An impostor app has been created and was available on the Google Play store today. Users who logged in to the app would be revealing personal usernames and passwords to a malicious actor. Poloniex tweeted that the scheme was "aimed at various exchanges", including the Poloniex platform.

The impostor also has, according to a tweet from Poloniex itself, revealed sensitive user information, publicly posting it. Poloniex reassures its users that the exchange platform itself has not been compromised.

Any user who has logged into the fake Poloniex app should immediately change their passwords for the real Poloniex exchange. At this point, the extent of potential funds lost due to phishing is unknown. Please ensure your account's integrity by immediately changing your password.
