Malicious iOS app FomoPeek linked to $580K crypto theft

  • —Losses from FomoPeek are estimated at 579,984 USDT, with funds moved across multiple chains
  • —Malicious modules exploited iOS flaws and escalated privileges to reach Keychain data
  • —Infected versions shipped on September 9 and 12; version 1.3 on September 17 removed the malware
  • —Part of the funds went to FixedFloat, KuCoin and cce.cash, with tracing of the rest ongoing
Why it matters: The attack via the official App Store shows mobile wallets remain exposed even when apps are installed from vetted marketplaces.
