Apple has become aware of a security flaw that could let hackers take control of a user’s iPhone or iPad if they visit a harmful website.
Maybe i’m reading this wrong but it doesn’t seem to be cryptocurrency-specific:
Jeremiah O’Connor, CTO and co-founder of crypto cybersecurity firm Trugard, told Decrypt that “attackers could access sensitive data like private keys or passwords” stored in their browser, enabling crypto theft if the user’s device remained unpatched.
