Topic: A new warning for iPhone and Apple product users - page 3. (Read 311 times)

People arent really that tech savy most of us will learn the hard way. I also started in crypto by saving my bitcoin private key on gmail.

I also used exchanges as my personal wallet most of us dont even know how to avoid viruses.

The reality is that there is nothing wrong with metamask on ios, or ios itself. The core problem is that people are not protecting their crypto currency wallets as they ought too. They call is seed phrase, paper wallet with an instruction that says store it where no one else can see it; why upload your seed phrases to cloud storage ? Clipboard storages are well prohibited, but we see guys who pin private keys to their clip board too. either android or ios, keep your seed phrases far from cloud storage

If iPhone could be that dangerous why not get and android phone for any mobile wallet installation or windows to slime the chances of being hacked and compromised device. most at time we don't have to allow autosave maybe could be one bad thing will happened us whereby user data could be fitch and empty their wallets.

I do know that and i never enable icloud caused by this potentially fucked me when i didn't aware if my password or a sensitive data gets stored into my icloud. The best way to store your media but it's not for your data. I personally always disable any cloud storage when i will be using this device to store my data caused by it's all a very important data for sure. Even when it says already deleted but yeah apple is having your data permanently.
In my opinion if this is a very bad thing to be enabled when someone decide to use apple device as his main desktop to work.

Yes you are right, you can even recover all deleted files on iCloud, that means that anyone that have access to your iCloud account can still try to recover deleted files from that same account, its not recommendable to use iPhones to store recovery seeds and private keys, I won't even dare open a trust wallet on such platform.

Only the uninformed will believe Icloud to be a preserve place for security. Delete may not be the best measure but I want my mind to out of that place and any sensitive data. I don't have anything on the private keys, the least I worry now is the privacy I have exposed but that's fine. I wish internet could have futures to disable many things.

And do you now really believe that everything that you decided to delete has been deleted? It's the internet, mate. Everything that fell into the clutches of the iPhone and Apple is never deleted. They just give you the illusion of security, nothing more. Surveillance and more spying on users, that's the motto of this company.

The idea of Icloud storage is only good gallery and Media, passwords private keys and seed  phrase or recovery seed shouldn't be store in such places.
I was going through the tweets thread and my mind was a bit scared with things I have been hiding on my Icloud right before I took my privacy serious. So I checked my Icloud and there was an Altcoin wallet I installed back then and ignorant me, I backedup the private key to the Icloud( the developers enable the option backup to my private key to Icloud).



The wallet was no longer on my phone and I decided to installed the app on my device to test the magic. I installed  the app, I allowed the face ID and the next thing that pop up was the options to login with my previous account or to import new account. The app had access to my Icloud.



I selected the previous account and that's was how my previous staking transactions pop out, there was no nothing in the wallet as I have already sent them back to an exchange.

I have did one thing with the Icloud backedup private keys....DELETE



The data has been deleted from my cloud. Such things are not meant for any third party, it should only be on your custody, you can mistakenly lose your password to another person, your Apple ID AND PASSWORD will make you loss everything, including privacy once  anyone has access to them.
You can see the amount of stolen ethereum that was announced by Metamask, is possible that such exploit is still going on. while Apple has promised you that your data are encrypted, note anything encrypted can be decrypt.
Stay safe.

Disable iCloud automatic backups in your iPhone or apple product if you are running any crypto wallets on the phone, why? iCloud will make your encrypted vault password available online, meaning if someone or an hacker phishes your ICloud credentials your fund will vanish into thin air.
