Unrecognized settings option- possible malware?

Unrecognized settings option- possible malware?

Hello. I would appreciate any insight into what this might be. I searched Siri in settings on my IPhone 15 and one of the suggested options I do not recognize or understand what it is, or how it’s related to Siri. The option the comes up is “com.vilcsak.bitcoin2”. When I click this option it takes me to the Siri announce notifications option. I will provide a screenshot of what I saw. As I googled this phrase I didn’t get any real answers but I did see some relations to possible malware? Any information would be greatly appreciated

iPhone 15, iOS 18

I do have Coinbase and other wallet apps, yes. Under the Siri settings I don’t see anything strange. The “com.vilcsak.bitcoin2” only appears when I search Siri in settings. Does this answer your question? I’m just not sure what I would be really looking for or expecting to see under the Siri settings. Thank you for your reply

I researched inside my iPhone, and like you, when searching for "Siri" in the search results I get a web link with an unusual name for a result. However, I realized that the link belongs to the website of an app that I have downloaded. The app I have downloaded is DJI, and the link shown is from that app, so I recommend you check if you have any app that is related to "Bitcoin", etc.

I would finally rule out any possibility of possible Malware.

I'm attaching an image of my case.

I hope I have solved your doubt 😉.

Hello!, that an option like this appears is not common, anyway I recommend you check the "Profiles" or "Device Management and VPN" section, you may have downloaded a "profile" that modifies Siri.

Tell me how it goes, good luck 😉

Do you have a cryptocurrency wallet or app (such as Coinbase) on your iPhone?

If you go to Settings/Siri what do you see?
