iPhone users, holding crypto or any other data, read this. This is real. This is reported by Binance.

A new iOS exploit called Worst Query can let a malicious app read other apps files on your phone, that includes seed phrases and private keys.

What to do right now? Update your phone.

Don't install sideloaded or sketchy apps.

Move any real size off phone hot wallets and into cold storage.

Never keep seed phrases in notes, screenshots on your camera, obviously. Apple hasn't officially confirmed the fix yet. Don't wait to find out.

There was a big Apple software update. I can only say this anecdotally that ran the other day to make Siri actually usable, cuz Siri has sucked for years. Siri, you suck.

But you're better now.

Uh, I went into my phone this morning a day after that and there was another security update uh, curiously that is there that you can do today and I highly recommend you do that on your iPhones and your computers as well because this is obviously a real thing.

Uh iPhone is going uh Apple is going to be on top of this more than any other company.

Nothing against them here, but go do that patch right now.
