Binance warns of serious iOS vulnerability that could expose data from Apple devices

Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has warned users about a reported security vulnerability affecting certain versions of Apple’s iOS operating system, which could allow malicious applications to access files stored by other apps.

The company identified the issue as “worse_query” and listed iOS versions 26.7.1, 27.0.1 and 27.2 among those affected.

According to Binance, the vulnerability could put sensitive information at risk, including cryptocurrency wallet recovery phrases, private keys and login credentials.

Binance stressed that the issue affects iOS itself and is not exclusive to its platform.

The company advised users to remove applications installed from untrusted sources, update their operating systems and apps, and remain alert to suspicious activity.

For users who suspect their devices may have been compromised, Binance recommended transferring their funds to a new wallet created on a clean device.

The warning highlights the importance of protecting devices used to access cryptocurrency wallets and other sensitive accounts.
