Description

In March 2026, over twenty phishing applications were discovered in the Apple masquerading as popular wallets. These malicious apps redirect users to browser pages that distribute trojanized versions of legitimate wallets designed to steal recovery phrases and private keys. The campaign primarily targets users in China, exploiting regional restrictions that prevent official crypto wallet apps from being available in the Chinese . Attackers use typosquatting and fake promotional materials to deceive users. The infected applications leverage enterprise for distribution and employ various techniques including malicious library injection and source code modification. The campaign has been active since at least fall 2025 and targets major wallets including MetaMask, Ledger, Trust Wallet, Coinbase, TokenPocket, imToken, and Bitpie. Some infected apps also contained modules, suggesting potential links between threat actors.
