The analyzed Safari sample targets iOS 18.4–18.6.2 using previously patched flaws, while its effectiveness on iOS 26.5 remains unverified.

An iPhone Safari attack behind recent security warnings hasn’t yet been linked to a confirmed cryptocurrency theft in SlowMist’s investigation.

Multiple reports surfaced this week urging iPhone users to update their devices immediately and warning that malicious Safari pages could expose crypto private keys and seed phrases, with some citing a range from iOS 13 through iOS 26.5.

SlowMist published its analysis of the WYINCC Safari campaign on Sept. 4, identifying a malicious webpage advertising a free virtual private server service.
