You hold crypto and an iPhone? Absolutely update it

Binance warned on November 10 that an iOS vulnerability dubbed "worse_query" allows a malicious app to read files belonging to other apps on an iPhone, including crypto wallet data such as recovery phrases, private keys and credentials. The exchange said the risk is concentrated in apps installed outside the App Store and advised users to delete sideloaded apps and, if in doubt, move funds to a new wallet. The flaw matters because seed phrases and private keys are the sole recovery path for self-custodied assets, so any leak can expose an entire wallet rather than a single app. Users should watch for an Apple patch and, in the meantime, audit sideloaded apps and consider rotating wallets that were set up on affected devices.
