Security firm SlowMist has not confirmed any incidents of cryptocurrency theft resulting from an attack on iPhone's Safari browser that uses previously patched vulnerabilities. The alleged exploit targets iOS versions 18.4 through 18.6.2, but its impact on the latest iOS 26.5 remains unverified, according to CoinTelegraph.
CoinTelegraph reported that the analyzed Safari sample specifically exploits flaws that have already been addressed in earlier iOS updates, suggesting limited risk for users on the most current software. SlowMist's statement underscores the importance of keeping devices updated to minimize exposure to such vulnerabilities.
For Japanese investors and traders, this highlights the ongoing need for vigilance in mobile security when accessing crypto platforms, especially given the widespread use of iPhones in the local market.
