💫💖🌹 HELLO
@CZ relays a very serious security alert:
Hackers have found unknown vulnerabilities (“zero-day”) in iPhone / iOS
They can take full control of the phone
The attack is called “DarkSword”
It is used by:
• surveillance companies
• possibly States (governments)
⚠️ What is a “full exploitation”?
It means that the attacker can:
• read your messages (WhatsApp, SMS…)
• access your photos
• see your passwords
• potentially access your crypto accounts 😬
👉 Without you realizing it.
💣 “Zero-day” = why it’s dangerous
A zero-day = a vulnerability: unknown to Apple at the time of the attack, so not yet patched
👉 Result: even a “secured” iPhone can be vulnerable.
🌍 Who is targeted?
According to the Google Threat Intelligence Group:
Saudi Arabia
Turkey
Malaysia
Ukraine
👉 They are mainly:
• journalists
• political opponents
• “interesting” persons for surveillance
🤔 Are YOU in danger?
👉 Honestly:
if you are a “normal” user → low risk but not zero
🔐 What you need to do (important)
✅ Update iOS (settings → general → update)
✅ Do not click on suspicious links
✅ Activate isolation mode (Lockdown Mode) if you want to be ultra safe
✅ Avoid unknown apps or profiles
🟡 Why CZ is talking about it (the “SAFU”)
“SAFU” = Secure Asset Fund for Users (popular expression at #Binance )
👉 It means: “protect your devices to protect your crypto money”
🧩 In summary
New very advanced attack on iPhone
Used by powerful actors
Not intended for the general public… but real
👉 The best reflex: update your phone
So: never delay an iOS update = it’s your best protection.
Kindly ✨️
