Solana Mobile patches bug after malicious app appears in dApp Portal

A fake airdrop app called 'SKR Claim' spent one hour in the App Spotlight before Solana Mobile pulled it and pushed a security fix. Solana Mobile had a rough morning on November 1 when a malicious application briefly made it into the App Spotlight of its decentralized app store. The app, named ‘SKR Claim,’ was live for approximately one hour before the company yanked it, patched the underlying vulnerability, and began removing it from affected user devices. The core issue: someone gained unauthorized access to the dApp Publishing Portal and used that access to surface an unpublished app in a curated section of the store.
