I just came across something important about iPhone security that everyone with crypto wallets should be interested in. Google has detected a new iOS exploit kit called Coruna that targets iPhones quite specifically.

This is quite impressive and also concerning at the same time: the kit contains five different exploit chains and exploits a total of 23 security vulnerabilities. It affects iPhones running iOS 13.0 to 17.2.1, so a pretty wide range. The goal is clear – the attackers want to access the mnemonic phrases from encrypted wallets to steal crypto assets.

What makes this even more worrying: the kit was first discovered in February 2025 and is linked to Russian intelligence agencies, who are specifically targeting Ukrainian users. At the same time, the exploit also appeared on fake Chinese websites – where it was also used to steal crypto wallets.

For everyone using an iPhone and holding crypto assets, I recommend the following measures: update your iOS to the latest version – the exploit no longer works with current updates. If, for some reason, that’s not possible, enable Lock Mode. This is an additional security feature that significantly restricts access to sensitive functions.

It’s always remarkable how targeted such attacks on crypto wallets are. It simply shows how valuable these targets are for cybercriminals. Anyone serious about protecting their wallets should take these warnings seriously.
