Not the first time this has happened, but recently the Snap store from Canonical hosted a scam bitcoin app that claimed to be Exodus wallet that caused a user to lose money.
They should have put a stop on all crypto apps as soon as the last debacle hit. Each one should have been checked and tested before being released back into the store. Like it or not, people trust these stores when they shouldn’t, nobody reads the T&Cs that tell them the store takes no responsibility for the shit in them. I think these stores should take some responsibility for what appears in them - especially apps relating to money management/wallets. Canonical (hopefully) are taking a reputational hit at the moment, and so they should. If you can’t run a store properly don’t have a store.
People scammed out of money sometimes kill themselves. Grrr Canonical.
