**[Malicious iOS App FomoPeek Linked to Nearly $580,000 in Crypto Asset Theft]**
Odaily Planet Daily News: The malicious iOS app FomoPeek has been discovered to contain multiple kernel exploit modules, capable of bypassing Apple's sandbox and accessing sensitive wallet data from other apps. It has been linked to a crypto asset theft incident involving nearly $580,000. Blockchain security firm SlowMist stated that the app was distributed via the Apple App Store. The company noted that the affected versions were released on September 9 and September 12, and the app contained two malicious modules that could gain elevated permissions and access Keychain data and files from other apps. The malicious components were removed in version 1.3, released on September 17.
Investigations by SlowMist and the OKX security team revealed that the associated attack framework included eight attack methods, supporting iOS versions 12.0 to 18.7.2 and 26.0 to 26.1. On-chain analysis showed that a hacker address linked to the incident received approximately 580,000 USDT, with the funds subsequently transferred through multiple addresses and services, some of which flowed to FixedFloat, KuCoin, and cce.cash.
