Apple iOS Vulnerability Puts Crypto Wallets at Risk as Binance Issues Warning

Binance warned on Nov. 10, 2026, that an iOS vulnerability dubbed “worse_query” could expose crypto wallet seed phrases, private keys, and login credentials on iPhones. The exchange stressed the flaw lies in Apple’s operating system rather than in Binance itself, and flagged cross-app data exposure as the core risk. The warning matters because seed phrases and private keys are the sole recovery path for self-custody wallets, so any leak can drain funds regardless of which exchange or app a user relies on. What to watch next is whether Apple ships a patch and how quickly wallet providers and users update their devices.
