<p class="is-style-lead">Binance-backed Trust Wallet cited “credible intel” pointing to a high-risk attack vector that hackers can deploy via Apple iMessage.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The self-custodial crypto wallet provider said dark web hackers target iPhone and iOS users through a zero-day exploit on Apple’s default messenger. Trust Wallet’s alert suggested that the exploit corridor has been on the tech giant’s device since day one.&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, the startup did not specify who provided the information or if users had incurred any crypto losses.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Trust Wallet recommended turning off iMessage completely from Apple settings to mitigate the issue pending a code fix. At press time, the Silicon Valley heavyweight had neither addressed nor denied the claims.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a branch of the United States Department of Commerce, previously <a href="https://crypto.news/nist-investigates-security-flaw-in-binance-trust-wallets-ios-app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> investigations into the Binance-owned application, citing a security flaw noticed in its iOS version.</p>

<p>Trust Wallet is the second crypto wallet solution to warn users about this month’s Apple-related issue. As crypto.news previously reported, Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) wallet UniSat <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-wallet-unisat-fake-apple-ios-app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">notified</a> users of a fake version of its decentralized storage solution on the iOS app store.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Last month, the crypto community was aware of a side-channel attack vector, <a href="https://crypto.news/apple-draws-crypto-criticism-again-what-you-need-to-know/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GoFetch</a>. This vulnerability allowed bad actors to steal cryptographic keys due to a CPU cache bug in Apple’s M1, M2, and M3 MacBook computer chips.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The company acknowledged the issue, but details on a security patch have yet to surface. As a precaution, industry voices like Errata Security CEO Robert Graham advised users with substantial crypto holdings to move assets off iOS devices.&nbsp;</p>
