A vulnerability (worse_query) affecting iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1, and 27.2 allows malicious apps to read local files from other apps, putting seed phrases, private keys, and login credentials at risk across the entire ecosystem. This is an iOS-level issue, not unique to Binance. Immediate Action Required: - Delete any apps installed from untrusted sources (such as sideloaded or manually signed IPAs). - Update iOS and all apps to the latest official versions. - If you suspect a breach, transfer funds to a new wallet created on a clean device and reset all active login sessions. Never install unauthorized packages, and keep your software up to date.

🚨🇫🇷 French Banking Giant Crédit Mutuel Arkéa Confirms Cyberattack, Hackers Suspected of Stealing $133 Million French banking group Crédit Mutuel Arkéa has confirmed a sophisticated cyberattack after hackers allegedly stole more than $133 million by compromising one of the bank's third-party service providers. According to the bank, attackers gained access through a supplier's platform and used Arkéa's own account to transfer funds to other financial institutions. Some of the stolen money was potentially converted into cryptocurrency through specialized exchanges. Blockchain investigator @ZachXBT first reported the incident, tracing suspicious withdrawals and transactions believed to be connected to laundering the stolen funds. Arkéa acknowledged that the estimated $133 million loss was broadly consistent with its findings but said the final amount remains under investigation. The bank confirmed that some assets have already been frozen and recovery efforts are underway. Customer accounts were not compromised, and the institution says the incident has been contained without affecting customer funds or its financial stability. French authorities are investigating how the attackers gained access and carried out the transfers.

Binance has begun recovering affected assets for users and continues to work with law enforcement, issuers, blockchain intelligence firms and industry partners to trace, freeze and recover additional funds. The company has already publicly committed to cover losses through company funds in the prior announcement. Binance has already reserved over $6.34B of company funds to cover this incident. $5B of these funds are already held in the exact token assets that were impacted. We are completing the purchase of the remaining amount by buying token assets through market channels and OTC channels. We are doing this to match the format of the remaining token assets and address any asset shortfalls. This step can take longer because some tokens may have low liquidity and OTC settlement also takes time. We will share more progress as soon as we can. These figures do not include frozen or protected assets, which remain subject to ongoing recovery and verification. Currently, $3bn has been frozen, with thanks to our industry partners. We are working with partners and law enforcement to recover the frozen assets.We will continue to use company resources to cover confirmed shortfall and will provide further verified updates as recovery efforts progress. Ultimately, all user funds will be verified publicly through our Proof of Reserves. We will weather this storm. Thank you for the support.

Apple's own privacy report says the average app has 6 trackers. Now think about what's on your phone. Cameras, microphone, GPS, Bluetooth, biometrics. You paid $1,000+ for it and carry it everywhere. Aka, a spy in your pocket. A privacy phone won't make you invisible. But you keep the apps you use and decide what each one can access.
