CertiK Warns Crypto Apps Still Face eMudhra Certificate Vulnerability Risks
Odaily reports: Blockchain security firm CertiK stated that although Google, Apple, and Microsoft have blocked 8 affected certificates issued by Indian digital certificate authority eMudhra, crypto trading bots and exchange applications may still be exposed to related vulnerability risks, as browser remediation measures may not cover software that uses independent security systems.Peiyu Wang, Senior Director of Digital Asset Security at CertiK, noted that attackers could exploit compromised certificates to impersonate exchanges, wallet interfaces, and APIs, replace deposit addresses, or trick users into approving malicious transactions. However, such attacks would also require intercepting or redirecting network traffic, and the compromised certificate authority keys alone cannot expose wallet private keys. Crypto service operators should update their software and certificate trust stores, and confirm that their applications reject the affected certificates. (Cointelegraph)

SlowMist: It has not yet been confirmed that the iPhone Safari attack led to stolen crypto assets, and whether iOS 26.5 is affected remains to be verified.
According to Cointelegraph, SlowMist stated that it has not yet independently confirmed that the analyzed Safari attack sample has led to actual crypto asset theft. Existing technical evidence primarily covers iOS 18.4 through 18.6.2, while the previously circulated claim that "iOS 13 through iOS 26.5 are all affected" remains preliminary. Analysis by SlowMist reveals that the malicious Safari page exploits a chain of vulnerabilities previously patched by Apple to attempt access to the Apple Keychain, app files, and shared data, which may involve information stored in crypto wallets. However, the presence of exfiltration-capable code does not mean data has been successfully extracted from all targeted wallets. SlowMist continues to recommend that iPhone users promptly install the latest iOS security updates and avoid opening suspicious links.
SlowMist: No Confirmed Link Yet Between iPhone Safari Attack and Crypto Asset Theft
Odaily reports: Blockchain security firm SlowMist has stated that the attack samples it analyzed targeting iPhone Safari have not been linked to any confirmed incidents of crypto asset theft. The available technical evidence primarily covers iOS 18.4 through 18.6.2, and whether iOS 26.5 is affected still lacks reproducible technical evidence.The attack reuses the previously disclosed DarkSword attack chain technique, loading code through malicious web pages disguised as free virtual private server services. The samples contain components that access Apple Keychain, extract and decrypt stored information, and can also access application files and shared data.SlowMist recommends that iPhone users install the latest iOS security updates available for their devices and avoid clicking suspicious links. Users who suspect their wallet private keys or seed phrases have been compromised should generate a new wallet on a clean device and transfer their assets. (Cointelegraph)
