Ledger CTO warns iPhone Safari exploit could steal crypto wallet data

A warning has emerged that crypto wallet information could be stolen on an iPhone simply by opening a malicious web page in Safari. Ledger Chief Technology Officer Charles Guillemet said an iOS attack chain dubbed “Darksword” is being used in real attacks and urged users to review how they store seed phrases and other sensitive wallet data. The chain is said to bypass Safari isolation through multiple vulnerabilities and may access key device data. Google said flaws were fixed by iOS 26.3.
