Security researchers are circulating information about a potential zero-day exploit targeting Apple’s iMessage application. Eowyn Chen, a security researcher, first posted a <a href="https://twitter.com/EowynChen/status/1779968264510050731" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tweet</a> claiming information about the exploit was being sold on the dark web for a staggering $2 million.&nbsp;
Trust Wallet, a cryptocurrency wallet provider, has since amplified the warning with a series of tweets. Trust Wallet claims to have “credible intel” about the exploit and warns users that it can infiltrate iPhones “without users clicking any links.”
