Security researchers have identified malicious behavior in versions 1.1 and 1.2 of FomoPeek, an iPhone app distributed through Apple’s App Store, according to monitoring cited by Odaily and Bitcoin News. The researchers said the affected versions contained an iOS exploit framework capable of escaping the app sandbox and extracting keychain data, wallet files, and seed phrases.
Blockchain security firm SlowMist linked the app to multiple theft cases and said it traced nearly $580,000 in stolen USDT to a main address. The finding raises concern for users who installed either of the two versions, because any keys accessible from the affected iPhone should be treated as compromised.
The guidance cited in the report is direct: users who installed FomoPeek 1.1 or 1.2 should generate a new seed phrase on a clean device and move funds immediately. No additional loss figures or victim counts were disclosed in the source material.
