SparkKitty Malware Found in App Stores Targets Crypto Wallet Seed Phrases

According to a report from cybersecurity firm Check Point, the SparkKitty malware campaign targeted cryptocurrency users by spreading through Apple's App Store, Google Play, and third-party app stores. The malware scanned users' photo libraries for wallet recovery phrases and other sensitive information after gaining permission to access photos. On iOS, SparkKitty was distributed through a cryptocurrency app called "币coin," while on Android it appeared in the SOEX messaging and exchange app, which was downloaded over 10,000 times from Google Play before removal. The malware was first discovered by Kaspersky in June 2025.
