Binance Alerts iPhone Users to Wallet-Hijacking iOS Flaw

Binance has warned iPhone users about the worse_query vulnerability, which reportedly affects iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1 and 27.2. Crypto.news reported that the flaw could expose crypto wallet keys and recovery phrases, while Coinfomania described it as a significant vulnerability affecting specific iOS versions and potentially compromising user data. The warning applies to wallet security rather than to a particular cryptocurrency or exchange transaction.

According to Blockonomi, attackers can exploit the issue through disguised sideloaded applications, including fake file-manager apps distributed through Telegram. Binance’s response is to remove untrusted applications, update affected phones to iOS 27.2.1 and move funds if a breach is suspected. The advisory therefore addresses both prevention through software updates and remediation for users who believe their devices may already have been compromised.

The three outlets agree on the central warning: Binance has publicly cautioned iOS users that worse_query may put wallet credentials at risk. Blockonomi and Crypto.news are more explicit about the assets at stake, naming private keys and recovery phrases, while Coinfomania frames the danger as potential compromise of user data. Blockonomi alone supplies the exact affected versions, the Telegram-linked app technique and the recommended update to iOS 27.2.1; the other summaries neither dispute nor independently expand those details.

The mechanism described by Blockonomi centers on applications sideloaded outside the normal App Store channel. Such apps can appear disguised as legitimate utilities and may provide the attacker with access to sensitive wallet information on an affected device. Binance’s recommended response includes deleting software that is not trusted, installing the current update and considering a transfer of funds when compromise is suspected.

The supplied market data shows a total crypto market capitalization of $2.54T, with the broader market described as flat. Bitcoin was down 0.06% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index stood at 32, indicating a Fear reading. No specific coin linked to the advisory is named, so these figures provide broad market context rather than evidence of a token-specific reaction; the immediate security issues to monitor are the affected iOS versions and any use of disguised sideloaded apps.
