Nowadays, Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency. With the proliferation of smartphones and the high-speed mobile Internet, more and more users have started accessing their Bitcoin wallets on their smartphones. Users can download and install a variety of Bitcoin wallet applications (e.g., Coinbase, Luno, Bitcoin Wallet) on their smartphones and access their Bitcoin wallets anytime and anywhere. However, it is still unknown whether these Bitcoin wallet smartphone applications are secure or if they are new attack surfaces for adversaries to attack these application users. In this work, we explored the insecurity of the 10 most popular Bitcoin wallet smartphone applications and discovered three security vulnerabilities. By exploiting them, adversaries can launch various attacks including Bitcoin deanonymization, reflection and amplification spamming, and wallet fraud attacks. To address the identified security vulnerabilities, we developed a phone-side Bitcoin Security Rectifier to secure Bitcoin wallet smartphone application users. The developed rectifier does not require any modifications to current wallet applications and is compliant with Bitcoin standards.
