Crypto wallets on iPhone at risk after Google detects new exploit kit on iOS
Google identified an invasion kit called Coruna that silently hacks iPhones and steals crypto by targeting popular wallet apps like MetaMask, Phantom, and Trust Wallet.
The attack requires no action from the victim; simply visiting a compromised or fake website on an outdated iPhone activates the infection.
Why this matters:
iPhones with iOS 17.2.1 or earlier versions remain vulnerable; Apple only patched the vulnerabilities in iOS 17.3, released in January 2024.
The kit scans notes and messages looking for crypto seed phrases and terms like 'backup phrase', allowing the attacker complete control of the wallets without the need for a password.
