Greetings, Crypto Community!
In this post, I’ll break down the potential risks you might face and the measures you can take right now to protect your digital assets.
First and foremost, as you venture into the crypto ecosystem or Web3 world, remember this crucial rule: never, under any circumstances, store your seed phrases and private keys as photos in your device’s gallery. This simple precaution can save you from a myriad of security breaches.
Recently, Kaspersky researchers uncovered a new group of Trojans targeting iOS and Android devices. The twist? Compromise occurs when you download certain apps and grant them permissions to access your photo gallery. For more details, check the full report here.
The takeaway is clear: avoid downloading third-party applications unless they are absolutely necessary for your crypto activities, such as wallet management or secure communication. Stick to trusted apps for these purposes.
While the Apple App Store and Google Play have already removed many of these malicious applications, some might still linger publicly. Being aware and cautious is key.
As an example… on a related note. The iOS version of the DeepSeek has turned out to be dangerous for all iPhone owners. The other day the security company NowSecure stated: they had conducted research and found a bunch of vulnerabilities in a DeepSeek IOS app.
