Security alert for Blink users on iPhone:
DarkSword is a confirmed iOS exploit chain documented by Google Threat Intelligence. It targets iOS 18.4–18.7 via malicious websites — no app install required. Visiting a compromised page is enough to trigger full device compromise.
What's at risk: credentials, messages (including phone OTPs), and crypto wallet data are explicitly targeted. For Blink users, OTP interception is the key concern. Note: 2FA does not protect you on a compromised device — the attacker can read codes in real time.
Blink is blocking the npm-attacker's addresses, so even in the case of a malicious address swap by a compromised app, Blink users will be protected from sending funds to the attacker's addresses.
List of attacker addresses:
