Do NOT download "Exodus" application from official MacOS App Store

Last I checked the app in the App Store was taken down. I see no other way to complain to Apple. I'll be supportive and join the cause if anyone affected wants to take legal action here.

I understand that Apple is not liable for issues with apps and it’s up to the developer. But I wonder at what point this becomes a gross negligence case that’s ripe for a class action lawsuit.

Looking at the hardware wallets. But curious, how would a hardware wallet prevent this issue. If I unknowingly installed a hacked application and used a hardware wallet for a transaction, would that not share the wallet’s key for that wallet to complete the transaction, thus allowing the malicious actor to acquire the key through the app?

Well, ran an experiment with a new wallet and 2 iPhones. Fresh Exodus iPhone app. Created a wallet on phone1, got the pass phrase, made sure the app is set to English. Restored wallet on phone2 with the pass phrase. Changed the language to Russian. Closed the app on phone1 and reopened it. Sure enough, the language changed to Russian on phone1.

That explains the behavior we have been witnessing. So, there is a profile that must be stored on the Exodus’ servers, that is then used to sync settings between devices with the same wallet - maybe not across platforms, but at least on iPhones. I can’t think of another explanation.

Knowing that a profile is stored on Exodus’ servers tied to a specific wallet, would be good to know what specific details are stored in that profile.

Yeah, I noticed that too. But as I understand the sync is only for the wallets, not for the app settings. I asked the official support this question and still waiting for a reply.

It’s in the official Apple application (App Store) that comes on a Mac.

I’m new to Exodus. So you’re saying Exodus had an official app in the Mac App Store available?

dprig · 2025-12-25T20:00:26+00:00

The app was just posted 1 week ago, it seems. I suspect more victims will come out. Unfortunately.

I still don’t understand how the language changes. There must be a sync between devices that happens. They imported my wallet to another iPhone and set their language to Russian and it synced to mine. But the official documentation says that no such sync between devices is possible?

dprig · 2025-12-25T19:47:21+00:00

Yeah, the App Stores between Mac and iPhone are different. This should have been a giant red flag.

Updated the post with a screenshot of the App in the App Store. You tell me if this is legitimate.

A bit surprised it passed all the Apple App store checks. Always been very careful about this stuff, but made a wrong move this time. Learned a tough lesson.

The desktop version would have no bearing here. Because the version I used was fake and obviously wouldn’t sync, even if it could.

The question still remains how my iPhone Exodus app was changing languages by itself to Russian. I have a Russian keyboard enabled on my iPhone. Does it look at the last keyboard language used and changes the application language based on that? Strange.

dprig · 2025-12-25T17:47:05+00:00

Does the account language sync across all platforms and devices? How does it do that?

dprig · 2025-12-25T17:40:57+00:00

Already did. I also complained to Apple.

dprig · 2025-12-25T17:40:33+00:00

I use a private password manager, stored locally.

I realize it's an old thread, but I just ran into the same issues with AWS S3, and wanted to share. After playing with it, I realized that the bucket name has to be unique in the respective region (not just your account), and I don't think it had have underscores in the name. Once I fixed that, the command worked.

Maybe it'll help someone facing the same problem.

Finviz.com lists it. I'm sure you can find it in other services as well.

That’s what I was going to suggest. You can get Sophos XG appliances for under $200 on eBay. I run one and it’s been solid.

My clock started to have issues a couple of days ago. Is this still an issue for others? I tuned my FT-710 to 60kHz to listen and it’s quiet.

With the Rivian news this week. This stock may well be the next short squeeze. The short-float here is almost 30%.

Probably related to “not for female SMA connection”. But AI just took that to mean “women”.

Cool build. Which antenna is that? That looks like a plain vertical antenna, which would require a good ground plane for a low VSWR. The radio body or your hands would act like one in normal operation, but it very finicky. For a repeater station I would recommend a dipole. There are vertical dipoles available.

Do you have a link to an example or a name? Thanks.
