According to a post by the exchange on its social media platform X, iPhone users may be facing a critical vulnerability. The issue is that malicious code can gain access to local files from other apps. This is very dangerous, as it puts private keys, seed phrases, and account login credentials at risk.
Binance clarified that the issue affects iOS versions 26.7.1, 27.0.1, and 27.2. To stay safe, users are advised to delete all apps downloaded from questionable sources and be sure to update their operating system and all software to the latest official versions. If you suspect that your data may have fallen into the hands of scammers, it’s best to immediately end all active sessions in your accounts and transfer your funds to a new wallet created on a clean and secure device.
Incidentally, this is not the first serious incident involving the exchange. Previously, Binance was the target of the largest hack in the history of the crypto market. At that time, hackers stole $6.34 billion, although about $2.85 billion was successfully blocked or recovered.
