The recommendation by Trust Wallet is to disable iMessage until Apple
figures out how so many holes have been recently found in their platform.

Trust Wallet has stated that dark web hackers are targeting iPhone and iOS users through zero-day exploits in Apple's default messaging app, iMessage.

The Trust Wallet warning suggests that the exploitation corridor has
existed on these Apple devices since the beginning of Apple's messaging
system, which proves a huge hole is in Apple's testing infrastructure.

Trust Wallet recommends completely disabling iMessage from Apple settings
to mitigate the issue while waiting for code fixes. Currently, Apple has
not addressed nor denied these claims as the problem is lack of testing for zero-day holes in Apple's messaging system.


Be informed this is not Apple's first warning of holes in Apple's testing. Trust Wallet is the second crypto wallet app to recently warn users about issues related to Apple's lack of testing for security vulnerabilities.

Previously, the Bitcoin wallet UniSat informed users about fake apps impersonating them on the App Store. And just last month, the crypto
community became aware of the GoFetch attack vector on Apple's products.

That apple vulnerability allows hackers to steal cryptographic keys due to
an untested CPU cache bug in Apple's MacBook M1, M2, and M3 computer chips.

The company has acknowledged the issue due to Apple's lack of testing, but details about a security patch have not yet emerged.

As a precautionary measure, advice from industry players like the CEO of
Errata Security, Robert Graham, suggests that users with significant crypto assets should transfer their assets away from Apple's untested iOS devices.

Trust Wallet's warning to iOS users about the iMessage vulnerability underscores the critical importance of Apple's inherent historic lack of spending money to address security concerns in Apple's mobile platforms.

The fact all these security holes exist shows Apple's pervasive
advertisements to the contrary to be nothing more than brazen falsehoods.

This new indication of high-risk attacks via Apple's iMessage highlights
the evolving sophistication of cyber threats targeting cryptocurrency
users, where Apple's lack of testing makes everyone using iOS vulnerable.

The recommendation to disable iMessage temporarily as a mitigation strategy reflects the urgency of the situation while awaiting fixes from Apple.
However, the lack of official response from Apple leaves users in a
precarious position, emphasizing the need for timely action to safeguard sensitive assets.

Trust Wallet's alert adds to a growing chorus of concerns regarding Apple's security infrastructure, with previous warnings from other crypto wallet
apps and recent revelations about the GoFetch attack vector amplifying the urgency for robust security measures.

As the crypto community grapples with these vulnerabilities, proactive
steps, such as transferring significant crypto assets from iOS devices, are advised to mitigate potential risks. Ultimately, this episode underscores
the ongoing importance of vigilance and collaboration among industry stakeholders to ensure the security of digital assets in an increasingly interconnected digital landscape.

It's just a rehash of the recent hardware flaw discovered in Apple

You're confused by the huge number of Apple zero-day holes, only some of which are known to be found in Apple's M-series unpatchably flawed chips.

Nobody said it did. You are confused by the huge number of zero day holes
in Apple's products that you can't separate which of those many zero-day
holes are in iMessage (which can be patched) and which of the holes are in Apple's millions of hopelessly flawed CPU chips (which can't be patched).

Back to the subject matter at hand, the net has been flooded with the suggestion for iOS users to disable iMessages due to a "credible" warning. https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2024/04/17/disable-imessages-asap-high-risk-alert-issued-over-credible-iphone-exploit/

For days, that has been the news but more recently the news has tempered
that dire warning saying that the evidence is mostly in hackers' news. https://crypto.news/trust-wallet-warns-apple-ios-users-of-imessage-vulnerability/

Non-hacker news has recently been reporting that it could be a false alarm. https://www.androidheadlines.com/2024/04/iphone-users-warned-about-imessage-exploit-but-it-could-be-fake.html

These are all reporting on the Trust Wallet story. That's not a flood,
just an echo.

While I disagree with the user who thinks this is all about the M1 flaws,
I agree with you that initially, it was widely reported to be so bad that
all iOS users were suggested to disable the app to prevent being hacked.

You have to take these seriously because iMessage is frequently hacked. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/apple-zero-click-imessage-exploit-used-to-infect-iphones-with-spyware/

These iMessages zero-day holes are so frequent, that you have to take them
at face value, as almost every one that is reported turns out to be true. https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2023/06/02/warning-issued-for-iphone-users-as-ongoing-imessage-0-click-attack-revealed/

Apple is never going to be the first to let you know about its holes, and,
in fact, Apple doesn't tell you iOS iMessages holes are on the rise. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/apple-iphone-security-update-points-growing-problem-zero-days-rcna2012

Apple has historically been the last entity to tell users anything about
its many iMessages flaws, all of which are due to Apple's lack of testing. https://www.macworld.com/article/227626/imessage-security-flaw-faq.html

In this case, the news for days was that iMessages was so seriously broken
that users around the world were told to completely disable it in settings. https://cointelegraph.com/news/apple-ios-imessage-zero-day-crypto-exploit-warning-trust-wallet

Then, slowly, the news started to report that, while the initial evidence
of the $2 million dollar hack is correct - it may be a false alarm. https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/04/18/exploit-seller-wants-2-million-for-a-zero-day-imessage-attack-vector-that-probably-doesnt-exist

All we can do now is wait to see whether the advertised $2M hack is real.
Or not.

Yes, everyone should definitely disable iMessage based on a questionable
and unverified claim that totally isn't bogus:

A crypto wallet maker’s warning about an iMessage bug sounds like a false alarm
<https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/16/a-crypto-wallet-makers-warning-about-an-imessage-bug-sounds-like-a-false-alarm/>

Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai11:51 AM PDT•April 16, 2024

A crypto wallet maker claimed this week that hackers may be targeting
people with an iMessage “zero-day” exploit — but all signs point to an exaggerated threat, if not a downright scam.

Trust Wallet’s official X (previously Twitter) account wrote that “we
have credible intel regarding a high-risk zero-day exploit targeting
iMessage on the Dark Web. This can infiltrate your iPhone without
clicking any link. High-value targets are likely. Each use raises
detection risk.”

The wallet maker recommended iPhone users to turn off iMessage
completely “until Apple patches this,” even though no evidence shows
that “this” exists at all.

The tweet went viral, and has been viewed over 3.6 million times as of
our publication. Because of the attention the post received, Trust
Wallet, which is owned by crypto exchange Binance, hours later wrote a follow-up post. The wallet maker doubled down on its decision to go
public

Many of which are the exact same flaws in most (if not all) other
chips, especially ARM chips.

What is it about this group that two people (at least) don't have a clue
that there's a difference between iOS (software) and M1 (hardware) chips?

If they don't know the difference between iOS (software) & M1 (hardware)
then how can anything they ever say be trusted to be at all meaningful?

M1 flaws have no impact on iOS. Remind me which M1 device uses ios?

To be fair, iPads run iOS. iPadOS is the same underlying OS. And until iOS
12 (or 13? Whatever) iPads ran iOS. There are M1 and M2 (and soon M3) iPads.


In fact, all of Apple's OSes are the same underlying OS. Mac, iPhones, iPads, watches, VR goggles etc. all basically run the same OS. Different GUIs and such (and other things), but very similar behind the curtain.

But even so, there is no way I am going "Disable iMessage NOW!" because some weirdo Bitcoin goofball says so.
