Community Debate Widespread iMessage Zero-Day Exploit Warning

Coin Edition -

  • iMessage zero-day exploit for sale on the dark web with a price tag of $2 million.

  • Researchers warn of attackers taking over iPhones without user interaction or clicking any links.

  • Trust Wallet urges iPhone users to disable iMessage due to the exploit, but some security experts doubt the claim.

Security researchers are circulating information about a potential zero-day exploit targeting Apple’s iMessage application. Eowyn Chen, a security researcher, first posted a tweet claiming information about the exploit was being sold on the dark web for a staggering $2 million.

Trust Wallet, a cryptocurrency wallet provider, has since amplified the warning with a series of tweets. Trust Wallet claims to have “credible intel” about the exploit and warns users that it can infiltrate iPhones “without users clicking any links.”
