- Two sanctioned Russian banking apps disguised as productivity apps were removed from the App Store.
- The first, 'Toastmas', claimed to be a workspace for event management but was actually a stealth client for T-Bank (formerly Tinkoff Bank).
- The second, 'Family Online', quickly climbed to the second spot on the App Store charts before removal.
- The non-English language and random rise of these apps indicated suspicious activity.
- The App Store's top charts feature helped identify these apps as suspicious.
