"iOS Users Beware: GoldPickaxe Trojan Steals Your Facial Data"

Group-IB researchers have discovered a new iOS Trojan dubbed GoldPickaxe.iOS that steals facial recognition data and identity documents, as well as intercepts SMS. The Trojan has been attributed to GoldFactory, a Chinese-speaking threat actor responsible for developing a suite of highly sophisticated banking Trojans. The threat actor exploits the stolen biometric data by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) face-swapping services to create deepfakes that replace their faces with those of the victims. This method could be used by cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to a victim's bank account. This article continues to discuss findings regarding the GoldPickaxe Trojan.
