Millions of iPhone users have been warned about a potential cyber threat.
Globalinfo.az reports that Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, said a security vulnerability found in some iOS versions could put users’ personal data and cryptocurrency wallets at risk.
According to the company, the vulnerability, called “worse_query”, may affect devices using the iOS 26 and iOS 27 operating systems. It could allow malicious applications to secretly access sensitive data stored by other programs installed on the same phone.
Binance advised users to immediately delete applications downloaded from sources outside the “App Store” and update their devices’ software.
The warning came after Binance said it had suffered billions of dollars in losses as a result of a cyberattack linked to North Korea. However, the company specifically stressed that the newly discovered vulnerability was not related to that attack.
