Uncovered iMessage risk

To completely eliminate this risk, Trust Wallet recommends disabling iMessage until Apple addresses and resolves any identified errors or vulnerabilities.

Trust Wallet issued a warning: the risk isn’t limited to its user base but poses a problem for crypto as a whole. They explained that they keep a constant lookout for potential dangers based on information they gather from various sources.
