A live DarkSword attack kit extracted data from iPhones nine times in a 30-day period, exposing the risk to crypto wallets when vulnerable devices open malicious Safari pages. SlowMist, a blockchain security firm, matched an active attack server to a public DarkSword-PROV2 package containing exploit code, a delivery server and a control panel. The panel recorded 20,187 page visits, 1,187 exploit attempts and 10 successful exploits during the period. Nine reached the data exfiltration stage. Opening a malicious page in Safari can trigger the attack without another tap.
