MetaMask wallets on Apple devices are at risk of being hacked

Popular cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask has warned that automatic data backups on Apple devices could increase the risk of hacking. The manufacturer has advised users to disable such data backups.

If attackers gain illegal access to sensitive data uploaded to iCloud, they can steal the user's MetaMask cryptocurrency. The warning was posted on the project's Twitter a few days after a MetaMask user lost $655,000 worth of NFTs and cryptocurrencies after an iCloud hack.

Apple mobile devices can automatically download application data. As a result of backup, files containing private keys can be uploaded to the company's cloud services. They can be accessed by attackers. For example, as a result of a phishing attack.
