Important Security Alert: iPhone Users Should Check for Past Installations of FomoPeek
Our team at Binance wants to update you about a recent security issue brought to our attention by the community. Based on findings from cybersecurity firms, which include SlowMist, versions 1.1 to 1.2 of the third-party FomoPeek application have been found to harbor malicious code. This software exploits iOS system vulnerabilities to secure the highest level of device privileges. As a result, bad actors could potentially access sensitive information stored on your phone or tablet, such as seed phrases, private keys, files, chat history, and login credentials.
It is crucial to understand that this specific malware targets your actual hardware. Should an attack be successful, the data within every single application on that compromised device is at risk of being exposed.
Please take a moment to determine if you meet two specific conditions. First, check if your iPhone or iPad is currently running iOS 26.x or an older software version. Second, verify whether you have ever downloaded the FomoPeek application.
If both of these situations apply to you, we strongly encourage taking immediate protective actions. Begin by deleting the FomoPeek application entirely and make sure you never reinstall it. Following that, upgrade your iOS to the most recent version available. For those who utilize a self-custody wallet, please secure a different device that has never had this malicious app installed. Use this clean device to create a brand new wallet and transfer all of your assets over to the new address.
Additionally, if you observe any unauthorized or strange activity involving your assets, do not alter the affected device. Preserve it along with any relevant evidence and get in touch with Binance Customer Support right away so we can help investigate the situation.
As always, we want to remind our entire community to keep device software continuously updated and to strictly avoid installing applications from untrusted sources.
