A: Hey Akira, you saw the news about Sora's app, right?
B: No way, what happened?
A: Well, turns out there were these scammers trying to copy Sora's success! They made fake apps and called them "Sora" or "Sora 2", tricking people.
B: Whoa, really? Apple let those through their App Store?
A: Yeah, it looks like some of the apps even used a trademarked name by OpenAI. There were over a dozen fake ones and half of them used "Sora 2"!
B: That's crazy! And people actually downloaded these fakes?
A: Apparently, yes. The scammers managed to get around 300,000 installs before Apple pulled most of them out. One even got over 50,000 installs after the official Sora app launched!
B: That's some serious money for a fake app. How much did they make?
A: More than $160,000! Can you believe it? Apple hasn't said anything about this yet, though.
B: Wow, I can't wait to see how they'll handle this. Let's hope they don't let the remaining fakes stay on their App Store.
