So this is fake desktop app, really hacker's and scammers have gone far to this extent is quite amazing, because from the look of this and the app domain name, nothing change at all from the original binance name and this can become a big challenge for the cryptocurrency exchange anytime they may want to lunch their desktop app in the future.

Unless if their act to bring this fake desktop version down before launching the original, any ways thank you for bringing this here.
They've been doing it for quite a while and don't just focus that it's from Binance because they could copy other exchanges and wallets too for their own benefit. So, always make sure to download from verified sources for every app that you'd download whether they're from crypto, financial app or those apps that contains vital information and data of ours.

Thanks for bringing this up, I think that there was one already made for this topic. So, scammers are everywhere, and with the emergence of AI, they're going that far from making videos with the face of the known ones like CZ and other influencers in the community. Like they can make videos of CZ endorsing this fake app or anyone that has a wide reach of audiences could fool people with these deepfake videos promoting fake apps too.
