14,609.911164 XRP stolen Toast Plus on Apple app store

#1
So today I needed to import a private key with around 14600 XRP on it and transfer the money to an exchange. I have a new iphone that doesn't currently have a wallet on it. So I went to the app store and downloaded the first wallet that came up. I did quickly google is toast wallet safe and the results said it was considered safe. So I went ahead and imported the private key and instantly before I could send to the exchange all the XRP was transferred to address: rnmmg1qsvjzitv5toy32dsh8zgdqsw6dzf which is a known scam account.

The software company that produces toast wallet plus also does droplet wallet. "Peninsula Software S.A.S. de C.V."

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/droplet-xrp-spark-wallet/id1526070300#:~:text=Store.-,Peninsula%20Software%20S.A.S.%20de%20C.V.,-Designed

So what to do now? I know the coins are gone but I have a new mission now, to get them taken down. Been buying and selling and mining crypto since 2010 and first time I've gotten scammed. What makes this worse is these weren't my coins, but a friends who wanted me to buy them because he didn't know how. This friend is in a bad situation and needs money now which is why I was converting them.

This is supposedly their address: Peninsula Software Limited 16 Forbes Street Balaclava Dunedin 9011, New Zealand.

Also it doesn’t help that no one is talking about this. That app shows up third on App Store when you type in XRP wallets. If you do a quick search on it everyone is saying Toast wallet is the greatest thing since sliced bread (pun intended) I fell for it just as you do. Our private keys were not hacked, that dev is just fucking people who send larger amounts in and letting the little fish keep their money to not attract so much attention. The wallet has over 2 million XRP and all of the transactions in are for larger amounts.
