Apple and Google have acted against cryptocurrency applications linked to the Huione Group, a company alleged to operate a major dark web market involved in illegal activities totaling $24 billion. Reports indicate that, while some apps were removed, several still remain accessible, raising questions about the company’s overall credibility.
Tom Robinson, CEO of Elliptic, has urged for a reevaluation of the Huione Group’s role in the app distribution network, highlighting the potential risks posed by the remaining apps. Although Huione offers legitimate services, it is imperative to clarify whether these are being exploited for fraudulent purposes.
