Explorador DarkSword coloca carteiras de cripto em risco no iPhone

A CertiK alertou iPhone users on November 6 about DarkSword, an exploit kit that can be used against crypto wallets. According to CoinEdition and Crypto.news, the attack targets vulnerable devices through malicious websites accessed with Apple’s Safari browser. A malicious Safari page may be enough to compromise an iPhone and expose information related to cryptocurrency wallets, even before the victim connects a wallet or attempts a transaction. CoinEdition reports that the exploit does not require wallet connections or transaction approvals. That detail distinguishes the attack path from phishing schemes that depend on users signing transactions or disclosing credentials through a fake interface. Crypto.news says CertiK identified a newer version of the DarkSword iOS exploit kit, expanding the warning beyond the earlier campaign and keeping the focus on unpatched devices. The supplied coverage does not identify affected iPhone models, provide a technical patch threshold or disclose an exact loss total. The three outlets agree on the central risk: DarkSword is being used to target cryptocurrency wallets on vulnerable iPhones. CoinEdition and Crypto.news specifically connect the exploit to malicious Safari pages, while CoinEdition supplies the absence of wallet connections and transaction approvals. DailyCoin offers a more severe framing, describing a zero-click browser vulnerability that drains millions from unpatched devices by targeting stored recovery phrases. That recovery-phrase angle and the reference to millions are details carried by DailyCoin alone, rather than figures independently corroborated by CoinEdition and Crypto.news.

The entities involved are the CertiK security team, which issued the warning, and iPhone users whose stored wallet information could be exposed. The attack centers on Safari and unpatched iOS devices rather than a named coin, exchange or blockchain protocol. Crypto.news points to a newer iteration of the exploit kit, while the other reports present the warning as an active risk to vulnerable devices. No specific victim count, geographic breakdown or list of compromised applications appears in the supplied summaries.

The broader crypto market was little changed at the time of the warning: total capitalization stood at US$ 2,62 trillion, with the overall market described as flat. Bitcoin was up 0,15% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index stood at 28, inside the Fear zone. The relevant watchpoints are whether users update affected iPhones, whether the exploit continues to spread through malicious Safari pages and whether additional details emerge about wallets, recovery phrases and the scale of losses reported by DailyCoin.
