JUST IN: Binance warns Apple users of an iOS flaw that lets malicious apps read seed phrases, private keys and login credentials.
The warning names iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1, and 27.2.
Called “worse_query,” it breaks the isolation that normally keeps one app from accessing another app’s local files.
The risk extends across apps, beyond Binance, with exposure depending on how apps store and protect sensitive information.
Binance urges users to remove untrusted apps and update their software.
If a breach is suspected, move funds to a new wallet created on a clean device and reset active login sessions.
This comes amid earlier reports of iPhone users losing crypto to malicious apps.
If you're an iPhone user, read this.
Hackers just stole $4.06 MILLION in crypto through cyberattacks that started with just one click.
The victim said they tapped an ad in Safari before wallet apps were emptied.
An iOS exploit kit such as DarkSword is suspected.
DarkSword chains together iOS security flaws to compromise vulnerable iPhones.
Opening a malicious Safari page is enough to steal passwords, photos, Notes and wallet data.
No wallet connection, signature, or approval needed.
Other attacks reported in 2026:
1. Instagram ads
- iPhone was infected while they scrolled past a malicious ad
2. Pegasus spyware
- iPhone was infected without clicking a link or downloading a file.
3. P7 DarkSword
- spyware capable of extracting passwords, photos, Notes and wallet data.
4. Fake Apple preorder pages
- fake iPhone website launched an infection attempt simply when opened.
5. iMessage
- A zero-click exploit infected an iPhone with spyware capable of accessing messages, microphone and camera.
6. Telegram downloads
- modified iPhone apps collected location, device information and screenshots while open.
7. App Store malware
- 2 apps carried SparkCat, which scanned photos for seed phrases after users granted access.
8. Coruna
- 23 exploits used in espionage and financially motivated attacks against older iOS versions.

Now here's what you should do:
• Update iOS and apps NOW. Enable automatic updates too.
• Avoid unsolicited app downloads and configuration profiles.
• Limit apps’ access to Photos, location, microphone and camera.
• Keep seed phrases out of screenshots and Notes.
• Consider Lockdown Mode if you face heightened spyware risks.

🚨 MASSIVE: ARGENTINA IS BRINGING ELECTRICITY TO THE $XRP LEDGER.
Over $800,000,000 in energy assets tokenized through YPF Luz and Justoken.
But here's where things get VERY interesting.
While Argentina is bringing electricity contracts onto XRPL another project has been quietly building something much bigger.
ENERDEX.
@EnerdexOrg is developing ENERGY SETTLEMENT infrastructure on the $XRP Ledger.
Argentina is tokenizing electricity.
Enerdex is building the infrastructure to settle energy-market obligations.
Two separate developments. One blockchain.
Now imagine the world's electricity markets moving toward tokenization and on-chain settlement.
Is Argentina just the first domino in a much larger global energy transformation?
And why is Enerdex betting so heavily on the $XRP Ledger?

Yup
Elon Musk said at 100 GW/year of orbital AI compute (@ $10 per watt), @SpaceX would add $1 trillion in annual revenue every year, and at higher pricing it could be $3–5 trillion, stacking each year because the satellites will keep running in space.
Bullish on space. 🚀
