  • Malicious code was found in FomoPeek versions 1.1 and 1.2 on the Apple App Store.
  • The code could collect data from other wallet and note-taking apps.
  • A linked wallet received a total of $579,984.34 USDT across several networks.
  • The app’s malicious modules were signed by the same Apple developer identity as the official releases.
  • SlowMist advised creating new wallets on secure devices for affected users.

FomoPeek, a monitoring tool for crypto wallets, contained hidden code capable of bypassing iPhone security to access data from other apps, posing a risk to stored credentials like private keys and seed phrases.
