iOS wallet attack chain confirmed weaponized
- SlowMist’s breakdown of the DarkSword framework: the entire pipeline—from vulnerability delivery and device data collection to wallet decryption and fund consolidation—is automated. The effective attack window is limited to iOS 18.6–18.7.2 and 26.0–26.1. Making the code public immediately lowers the barrier to launching attacks.
- Simply opening a malicious page in Safari can trigger the attack. Once a private key or recovery phrase is exposed, consider it compromised. Rebuild the wallet on a clean device and revoke authorizations across all chains.
In the short term, incidents like this won’t change the broader market direction, but they may dampen on-chain transfer activity on iOS. The immediate selling pressure on [asset] comes from stolen wallets consolidating funds, not from the protocol layer. Would you still connect your old wallets to DApps after this?
