Binance Warns iPhone Users of Major iOS Flaw That May Expose Crypto Wallet, Private Keys

A critical iOS vulnerability dubbed 'worse_query' allows malicious applications to read sensitive data — including cryptocurrency seed phrases, private keys, and login credentials — belonging to other apps on the same device. The flaw affects multiple iOS versions and can be exploited via untrusted IPA packages, meaning users who sideload apps from unofficial sources face the greatest risk. This matters enormously in the crypto space because exposed private keys or seed phrases result in irreversible financial loss with no recourse. The incident highlights how unpatched mobile operating systems combined with low security awareness around app sourcing create a dangerous attack surface for high-value digital assets.
