Even if someone you trust gets compromised in that way the WoT of the scam would be very low. That’s the magic of WoT and how humans already behave

Agreed for common apps that many people use, but the issue can happen for new apps with only couple users, right?
no, really, WoTs fixes this; an app with only a couple of users will still have a a low WoT score.
Could you please explain this to me like I'm completely stupid? 😃
Let's say there are 5 users that already have solid WOT score. Now 2 of them get hacked and hacker installs and "verifies" an AppX.
Unless the other users get somehow notified of the hack, they will see the AppX as "verified" and may potentially install the app too, no? What would prevent it? Some lower bound limits on how many people are needed to "verify"?
