This sneaky malware is after your phone's pictures: Here's why
What if your phone's photo gallery wasn't as private as you thought? Imagine a harmless-looking app quietly scanning your pictures, searching for clues to your digital life. Now imagine that app is after your crypto wallet details, and it has already slipped past the usual security gates on both Android and iOS. This is not some distant threat. It is happening right now, and it is making many rethink how safe their devices really are. Apps can be risky business Most people trust the apps they download from the official Play Store or App Store. After all, these platforms promise to weed out the bad actors. But SparkKitty, a new malware strain, has managed to bypass these checks. Security researchers first flagged it in early 2025, and since then, it has turned up in apps that look completely routine. Some were even downloaded thousands of times before anyone noticed. The trick is simple but effective. SparkKitty hides in apps that offer features like messaging or crypto tracking. Once installed, it asks for permission to access your photos. Many users do not think twice about this. But behind the scenes, the malware uses optical character recognition to scan images for text, especially those all-important crypto wallet recovery phrases. If you have ever taken a screenshot of your recovery phrase for convenience, you could be at risk. How does it really work SparkKitty appeared in apps on both official and unofficial stores It targets both Android and iOS devices Once inside your phone, it scans photos for sensitive information The malware keeps checking your gallery for new images Stolen data is sent to remote servers controlled by attackers Security experts say this is part of a growing trend. Hackers are getting better at hiding malware in apps that seem trustworthy. Even after SparkKitty-infected apps were removed from the stores, similar threats keep popping up on third-party sites. What you can do Only download apps from developers you trust Check app reviews and details before installing Be cautious if an app wants access to your photos or files without a clear reason Never store recovery phrases or passwords in your photo gallery Use encrypted storage or a password manager for sensitive data The risk is not limited to losing cryptocurrency. Any private image could be at risk. While there is no verified evidence of blackmail so far, the potential for misuse is real. The safest bet is to keep sensitive information out of your gallery and be extra careful about app permissions. With malware like SparkKitty getting smarter, the old rules for staying safe online are changing. It is not enough to stick to official app stores or trust familiar-looking apps. The best defence is a mix of caution, good habits, and a willingness to question what apps really need from you. As more of our lives move onto our phones, a little scepticism can go a long way.
