SlowMist said Apple has released an important security update that may address a zero-day vulnerability linked to crypto wallet theft. On Sept. 29, SlowMist chief information security officer 23pds said the flaw was likely used to steal wallet assets and cited Apple as saying it was aware of a report that the issue may have been exploited in highly sophisticated attacks against specific targeted individuals, affecting iOS versions before iOS 27. SlowMist founder Cos further warned that some black- and gray-market groups are abusing the weakness in pre-iOS 27 versions to steal crypto wallet assets from iPhone users. He urged users to update their iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices to the latest system versions as soon as possible, avoid installing apps from unknown sources, and not open suspicious links through Safari or in-app browsers. The alert was published by BlockBeats as a 7x24 news flash.
