TREE NEWS reports: SlowMist said malicious versions of the iOS app FomoPeek, distributed through Apple’s App Store, were linked to $580,000 in crypto theft. The app used iOS kernel exploits to escape the sandbox and access sensitive data from other apps, the security firm said.
SlowMist links malicious iOS app FomoPeek to $580K crypto theft
AI take
The notable part is the distribution channel: a malicious app cleared App Store review and then used kernel-level exploits to break iOS sandboxing, which is the control users implicitly trust to keep wallet and seed data isolated. That shifts the risk narrative from user error toward platform vetting and device-level integrity, affecting anyone holding keys on an iPhone. Whether the exploited flaws were patched before or after removal, and how long the app stayed live, is the open question worth watching.
