🟠Kaspersky has identified a new threat targeting #crypto users: malware called SparkKitty, silently stealing images from iOS and Android devices — especially those containing seed phrases from crypto wallets.
🟠This malware hides in seemingly innocent apps — like a crypto price tracker named “币coin” and a fake exchange messenger “SOEX” — found on the App Store and Google Play. Once installed, it sweeps your entire gallery, scanning for sensitive data.
🟠The apps were downloaded over 10,000 times before being removed. But SparkKitty is still spreading through gambling apps, adult games and fake TikTok clones, mostly targeting users in Southeast Asia and China.
🟠It’s the “dumber” cousin of SparkCat — but no less dangerous. It doesn’t even filter: all photos get stolen. Your notes, ID cards, passwords, seed phrases — if it’s in your gallery, it’s compromised.
🟠If you’ve ever taken a screenshot of your seed phrase, delete it now. And don’t trust any app with a crypto logo unless you’ve verified it independently.
👁 Malware doesn’t need to be smart to hurt you. It just needs your bad habits.
