Apple Patches Critical iOS Vulnerability, SlowMist Warns Crypto Users

Apple released iOS 26.7.1 and iPadOS 26.7.1 on September 28th to address a serious CoreGraphics out-of-bounds write vulnerability that could allow arbitrary code execution. Apple confirmed the flaw may have been exploited in targeted attacks on older versions. Security firm SlowMist, which has been tracking related activity, urged crypto users to update their devices and avoid suspicious files or links. Additionally, SlowMist and OKX recently identified malicious code in the FomoPeek app, which contained an iOS kernel exploitation framework capable of accessing Keychain data and private keys on versions ranging from iOS 12.0 to 26.1.
