TechCrunch examined Trust Wallet’s claim of credible intel about a high-risk, zero-click iMessage zero-day being sold on a dark-web site for $2 million and found no evidence the exploit exists; the advertised sale (on a site called CodeBreach Lab) appears dubious and likely a scam. Trust Wallet initially urged users to disable iMessage, later reiterated its alert without providing proof; security experts recommend Lockdown Mode for high-risk users rather than broadly turning off iMessage.
