Bitcoin Magazine Binance Warns iOS Flaw Could Expose Wallet Seed Phrases as Apple’s Latest iPhone Patch Stays Silent
Binance warned iPhone users Tuesday that a publicly released iOS flaw could let malicious apps read files stored by other apps, including the seed phrases and private keys that control crypto wallets.
“A vulnerability (worse_query) affecting iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1, and 27.2 allows malicious apps to read local files from other apps, putting seed phrases, private keys, and login credentials at risk across the entire ecosystem,” the exchange wrote on X. “This is an iOS-level issue, not unique to Binance.”
Binance told users to delete any apps installed from untrusted sources, such as sideloaded or manually signed IPA files, and to update iOS and every app to the latest official versions. Anyone who suspects a breach should move funds to a new wallet created on a clean device and reset all active login sessions, the exchange said.
