Malicious iOS App FomoPeek Linked to $580K Crypto Theft

A malicious iOS app called FomoPeek has been linked to nearly $580,000 in stolen crypto after researchers found it contained multiple kernel exploits capable of escaping Apple's sandbox and accessing sensitive wallet data.

According to an investigation published by blockchain security firm SlowMist, the affected versions of the app were released on September 9th and September 12th, while version 1.3, released September 17th, removed the malicious components.

The exploit framework included eight attack methods and declared support for iOS versions ranging from 12.0 to 18.7.2 and 26.0 to 26.1.
