SlowMist Warns Darksword Exploit Adapted to iOS 26.5 to Steal Wallet Keys

The notable shift here is not the exploit itself but its persistence and reach: a flaw disclosed against older iOS versions is now claimed to work on a current one, suggesting the tooling is being maintained rather than abandoned. The targeting history across four countries points to a state-linked or mercenary pattern rather than opportunistic crime, which changes the threat model for self-custody holders who assume device security is sufficient. The unverified iOS 26.5 claim is the open question — whether Apple confirms or patches it will determine if this remains a regional campaign or becomes a broader mobile-wallet problem.
