Trust Wallet users face a new threat: an iOS 18.5 exploit lets attackers extract seed phrases from phones, draining wallets for a total of $1.1M so far.

The flaw, discovered by an unknown attacker, targets the operating system rather than the wallet app itself. When a device runs iOS 18.5, the attacker can silently pull the seed phrase stored by Trust Wallet, enabling the theft of any funds linked to that wallet.

Trust Wallet support has urged users to update the app immediately. The company has not confirmed whether the latest release patches the vulnerability, but the recommendation is clear: install the newest Trust Wallet version and apply any pending iOS updates.

Users should verify that their devices run the latest iOS version and that their wallet app is up to date before proceeding with any transactions.
