Binance says iOS flaw in three versions can expose wallet seed phrases

What Binance said

Binance said it had identified a vulnerability affecting three versions of Apple's iOS, the operating system that runs the iPhone. According to the exchange, the flaw allows attackers to steal seed phrases, private keys and the login credentials for accounts.

The claim comes from the exchange itself. Bits.media reported the announcement on 10 November 2026, citing Binance representatives.

In the account reported so far, Binance did not name the three iOS versions involved, describe how an attack would work, or say whether a fix is available.

What the report leaves open

The report does not say whether the flaw has been exploited, whether it has been patched, or whether Binance has reported it to Apple. It also does not say whether Apple has responded to the claim.

No technical detail or timeline was given. The report does not indicate how Binance reached its conclusion or whether other security researchers have confirmed it.

Why seed phrases matter

A seed phrase is a sequence of words that can restore a crypto wallet on any device. Anyone who obtains it can move the assets held in that wallet, which is why exchanges and wallet makers tell users to keep it offline and never share it.

Private keys do a similar job for individual addresses, and account login credentials give access to an exchange account itself. According to the report, all three kinds of data are exposed by the flaw Binance described.
