BitKeep recommends that anyone who may have installed the trojanized app should first download the official app from a trusted source like the Google Play Store, create a new wallet, and transfer all funds to it before removing the malicious version of the app. Any wallets created via the malicious app should be treated as compromised.

In general, Binary Defense recommends only installing applications from the official app stores, such as Google Play for Android and the App Store for iPhone, where apps must pass various checks in order to be offered by the store.
