I could swear Ubuntu snap store has been gotten with this bullshit before, maybe more than once
Like 5 times already
Yes this is how I found out about it, by searching if there was a known Exodus scam with Snap. I can't believe this has happened more than once, I don't know how Snap works but that seems like a mistake you make once and then never again.
It happens because putting packages on snap happens privately without transparency and is likely mostly automated. Whereas any package added to flathub has a public repo: https://github.com/flathub. That wouldn't absolutely prevent this, but it would make it much less likely to happen in the future, as adding a package to flathub is an open process: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pulls
This Exodus wallet scam popped up before. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/03/ubuntu-will-manually-review-snap-store-after-crypto-wallet-scams/
So your theory about "never again" has been spectacularly shot down, apparently. Even the same name.
