Cybersecurity firm Group-IB uncovers a sophisticated malware targeting iPhone and iPad users, primarily in Asia-Pacific.

A new iOS trojan named GoldDigger targets users by stealing Face ID data to access bank accounts, marking a significant threat to iPhone and iPad users.
The trojan, initially developed for Android, has been adapted to exploit iOS devices, using AI to create deepfakes for unauthorized banking access.
Group-IB discovered the malware, which employs sophisticated methods like MDM profiles and social engineering to gain control over devices.
The primary targets are users in the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in Thailand and Vietnam, but there's potential for global spread.
