Darksword malware can be used by bad actors to compromise your bitcoin wallet

[_act_]

Not like the recently Coruna that can compromise more iOS versions, this malware can compromise iOS 18.4 to 18.7 devices. The malware does not need to be installed on your iOS device, all you need to do is to visit the infected website for the malware to do its work. It is a spyware. These are the most important information that you need about the malware.

See more of what the malware can do:

DarkSword can be used to siphon all sorts of personal data from an iOS device to a nefarious actor. Call logs, contacts, calendars, notes, photos, screenshots, location history, web browser history, signed in account identities, device keychains, SIM card info, Find My Phone settings, WiFi passwords, iCloud content, and more can be sent to the threat actor through this attack. iMessage data, email, WhatsApp data, Telegram data, and even cryptocurrency wallet credentials can also be stolenl.

The warning is also from Google:

This is the case when you should update your devices immediately. I know several smartphone owners who stubbornly refuse to update, claiming that they have read many articles on the Internet saying that after updating their smartphones, they can turn into a brick, but these exploits, which are several in one package, should make such people learn to trust developers and update their devices regularly.

It is also better to use other browsers, as they write that the exploit kit begins its attack in Safari.

And this case completely breaks the perception of people, including me, that it is impossible to "get in trouble" just by visiting a website without interacting with the clicks on that website. As it seems, everything is getting very serious every year.

FIRST USER:  argued that such phishing scam drains it victim money from wallet automatically in a quick instant on connecting to the fake site.

SECOND USER: argued that connecting your wallet alone to a phishing site does not automatically drain it, ontil you the victim have to perform a signing in your of your information or wallet private key.

Been smart is accepting that hardware wallet are not longer an option, it's now a must if you know what you are doing, I am surprised by how people are still using smartphones to store Bitcoin when there is always a bad news about smartphones and malware every week, it's now a very important step to take, say goodbye to smartphone for keeping Bitcoin, they are no longer safe for long term holds.

It's either you choose to deal with these problems every week, with unrestless mind, worrying if your wallet is going to be compromised or not or safe yourself the headache and buy a hardware wallet, it's not going to break the bank as they cost around $60 and more.

Now, this is an addition to the list of Iphone vulnerabilities, specifically for iOS 18. Although after going through the article, it is somehow related to a JavaScript thing majorly, perhaps just dissabling JavaScript helps break it .

I need to update the corona exploits  list on my thread too as DarkSword seems to be already observed as added to the recent Coruna exploit kit , following this : ""Notably, UNC6353, a suspected Russian espionage group previously observed using Coruna, has recently incorporated DarkSword into their watering hole campaigns."" - - source

My iOS should be 18+, which means I should be safe from the attack if the report is right, but I will still have to upgrade mine to iOS 26.3.

Hey mate!  I think your device has been vulnerable  since November 2025 . Time to update .
