<p dir="ltr">Web3 unhosted wallet Trust Wallet has&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/TrustWallet/status/1779961167537979775" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">uncovered</a> a security risk on iPhones that demands users, especially high-value targets, to take immediate action in the short term.</p>
<h2 id="uncovered-imessage-risk">Uncovered iMessage risk</h2>
<p dir="ltr">According to Trust Wallet, there is credible intel that involves a "high-risk zero-day exploit targeting iMessage on the Dark Web." This exploit is capable of infiltrating iPhones without even clicking any link, making it a very threatening security risk.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While the intel suggests that high-value targets face more risk, the update noted that the mere usage of iMessage increases the risk of being exploited. As a way to mitigate the risk altogether, Trust Wallet advised its community to disable iMessage until Apple fixes the error or loophole.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another major caution that Trust Wallet pointed out is that the threat is not only to its community but a crypto-wide threat. As curiosity filled the air, Trust Wallet provided more context on how the intel came about. The firm noted that it is always monitoring different avenues for signs of danger or threat.</p>
<blockquote>
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Due to this post getting a lot of views &amp; comments, we thought we'd elaborate further for the community:How did we come by this intel?Trust Wallet is constantly monitoring multiple avenues for any and all security threats to our users, alongside security partners &amp;… <a href="https://t.co/Z7vFtMENIp" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/Z7vFtMENIp</a></p>— Trust Wallet (@TrustWallet) <a href="https://twitter.com/TrustWallet/status/1780020931533959229?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">April 15, 2024</a>
</blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">In its probe, it came across an operator on the dark web who claims he can exploit the zero-day vulnerability and is asking for $2 million. Trust Wallet said its decision to share the exploit is in line with its transparency push regarding its community’s safety. The wallet confirmed it has no personal vendetta against iMessage, and its messages are for security purposes only.</p>
<h2 id="crypto-scams-unabated">Crypto scams unabated</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Despite the fight against&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/opinions/crypto-fraud-on-rise-again-heres-why" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto scams</a>, theft in the Web3 world is generally not declining. More users are being exploited in different forms every day, especially as the price of Bitcoin soared to new heights recently.</p>
<p>The deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI)&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/scam-alert-new-ai-scams-about-to-hit-crypto-industry-en-masse" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Deepfakes</a> in crypto scam-related ventures is also high. With this method, top industry leaders, including Ripple Labs Executives and Charles Hoskinson, are the favorite&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/cardanos-charles-hoskinson-says-ai-impersonation-will-surge-in-2025" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">personalities being impersonated</a> across the board.</p>
