Researcher releases iOS exploit that could expose crypto wallet data
A researcher published working code on Sunday for an iOS vulnerability that allows one app to read another app’s files. The flaw impacts iOS versions 26.7.1, 27.0.1 and 27.2. Apple released updates on November 9, but the release notes do not mention a fix, leaving it unclear whether the issue is patched. No attacks have been reported, and the risk to crypto wallets depends on how each app stores seed phrases or private keys. The advisory recommends removing side‑loaded apps, updating iOS and all apps, and moving funds to a wallet on a clean device while ending active login sessions.
