This guide covers how to protect against iPhone trojan GoldPickaxe along with how the first iPhone trojan works, and more.
An Android trojan called GoldDigger surfaced last year that can steal biometric data and more from victims to compromise their bank accounts. When installed on an iPhone, the malware can collect a user’s biometric information from photos, SMS text messages, intercept web activity, and more. Don’t share personal/sensitive information (including photos of yourself or ID cards) through phone calls, video calls, or other communication if a party reaches out to you If you have concerns about a financial account, log in directly at the bank/institution’s website to check into the situation – don’t call numbers or click links that were sent to you Keep your iPhone updated with the latest software from Apple – that now includes Rapid Security Response updates that arrive in between regular releases Stay tuned to 9to5Mac as we always report as soon as iPhone updates go live
