Trust Wallet, a decentralized wallet owned by cryptocurrency exchange Binance has warned iOS users about an iMessage security flaw that hackers can use to hack their iPhones without any interaction with them.
Trust Wallet has advised users to disable iMessage until Apple issues a fix.
Should you turn off your iMessage until a patch is released?
The outlet believes that Trust Wallet is over-reacting and notes that there is no evidence that the exploit exists.
The intel that Trust Wallet claims to have received and verified is an ad on the dark web on a website named CodeBreach Lab. Finding and developing zero-click zero-day is a tough task and CodeBreach Lab’s typo-ridden and unheard-of website doesn’t inspire confidence that it’s capable of creating such an exploit.
TechCrunch even tried to buy the exploit and found out that the website required buyers to send $2 million in Bitcoin to a wallet address on the public blockchain. The publication found that nobody had done that.
CodeBreach Lab is probably trying to scam people out of cryptocurrency and Trust Wallet trusted it too much…
