Binance Wallet has issued a security alert asking iPhone users to check whether they have installed the FomoPeek app, after a recently disclosed incident flagged by the community. According to security firms including SlowMist, versions 1.1 to 1.2 of the third-party app contain malicious code that can exploit an iOS vulnerability to gain the highest level of device privileges. If successful, the malware may access sensitive data stored on the device, including private keys, seed phrases, login credentials, chat records, and files.
The notice says the threat targets the device itself rather than a single app, meaning data across all applications on an affected iPhone or iPad could be exposed. Binance Wallet asked users to check two points: whether they are using an iPhone or iPad running iOS 26.x or earlier, and whether they have installed FomoPeek. Users who meet both conditions are advised to delete the app immediately, avoid reinstalling it, update iOS to the latest version, and, if they use a self-custodial wallet, create a new wallet on a device that never had the app installed before moving assets to a new address. Binance also told users to preserve the affected device and related evidence if they notice suspicious asset activity and contact customer support for investigation.
Binance Wallet has issued a security notice telling iPhone users to check whether they have installed the FomoPeek app after a recently disclosed incident surfaced in the community.
According to security firms including SlowMist, versions 1.1 to 1.2 of the third-party app FomoPeek contain malicious code. The code can exploit an iOS vulnerability to obtain the highest level of privileges on a device and may access sensitive data stored on it, including private keys, seed phrases, login credentials, chat records, and files.
Binance said this type of malware attacks the device itself. If the attack succeeds, data from all apps on the affected device could be accessed.
What users should check
- Whether the iPhone or iPad is running iOS 26.x or an earlier version;
- Whether FomoPeek has been installed on the device.
Steps Binance recommends
If both conditions apply, Binance advised users to take the following actions immediately:
- Delete the FomoPeek app and do not reinstall it;
- Update iOS to the latest version;
- For self-custody wallet users, create a new wallet on a device that has never had the app installed and move assets to the new wallet address;
- If any abnormal asset activity is found, keep the affected device and related evidence and contact customer support for further investigation.
Binance Wallet also reminded users not to install apps from untrusted sources and to keep device software up to date.
