SHIBARMY SECURITY REMINDER: iPhone users Google's Threat Intelligence team has detailed "DarkSword", an iOS exploit chain that can fully take over iPhones running iOS 18.4 to 18.7, just by visiting a booby-trapped website. One of the spy tools used with it steals cryptocurrency wallet data and device keychains, plus messages, photos and passwords. So far it's been used in targeted attacks (Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Malaysia, Ukraine) by spyware vendors and suspected state hackers. But Google warns other attackers may be using it too. ✅ WHAT TO DO 1️⃣ Update iOS now: Settings > General > Software Update (all the bugs are fixed in iOS 26.3 or later) 2️⃣ Can't update? Turn on Lockdown Mode 3️⃣ Don't open unknown links, especially "crypto" ones 4️⃣ Think you were exposed? Make a NEW wallet on a clean, updated device and move your funds. Never reuse an exposed seed phrase A safe wallet on an unsafe phone isn't safe. Don't panic, just update. Source: https://t.co/mGAnoeyJiz Protect your device. Protect your keys. Protect your $SHIB 🐕

This raises concerns for cryptocurrency holders, particularly those who access wallet-related services and other sensitive accounts through their mobile devices.
Mazrael highlighted steps to be taken, urging iPhone users to install the latest available iOS updates, noting that the identified vulnerabilities have been addressed in iOS 26.3 and later. Users unable to update are urged to activate Apple's Lockdown Mode and avoid suspicious links, particularly those involving cryptocurrency.
For individuals who suspect their devices or wallet credentials may have been compromised, the reminder recommends creating a new wallet on a clean, updated device and transferring funds. Exposed seed phrases should never be reused.
Caution urged in the Broader crypto community
Binance has resumed withdrawals in phases, with that of $SHIB on the Ethereum network also enabled.
In a recent post, binance warns that opportunistic scammers may try to take advantage of this period as withdrawals resume in phases.
Scammers may impersonate Binance through DMs, emails, group chats and even small transfers with a message attached, offering to "speed up withdrawals," give "priority processing," help to "claim compensation," or move assets into a "Binance vault," with users urged to take precautions.
Users should remember that Binance will never contact them first about their account or funds, nor offer or sell them a place in the withdrawal queue or charge a fee to unlock a network or asset.
