OnKey founder Yishi posted on platform X to remind users that using older iPhone models as cold wallets for cryptocurrency assets may pose security risks. The checkm8 vulnerability exists in the BootROM of iPhone 4S to iPhone X, and the usbliter8 vulnerability, which was disclosed in June this year, affects iPhone XS, XR, 11 series, and second-generation SE, all involving the device's low-level boot code, which cannot be fixed through iOS system updates. Once an attacker gains physical access to the device, they can execute code via the USB interface before iOS boots, and turning on airplane mode cannot prevent such attacks.Yishi advises that iPhone 11 and earlier models are not recommended for storing mnemonic phrases. Users who have used such devices to save mnemonic phrases should generate a brand new mnemonic phrase in a trusted environment and migrate their assets, rather than just changing the wallet address under the original mnemonic phrase. Additionally, users should promptly update their systems, use more complex device and wallet passwords, avoid charging through public USB interfaces, and be vigilant about potential physical attacks during periods when the device is out of their control for extended periods.Previously, OneKey founder Yishi had posted on platform X suggesting users use iPhones as cold wallets, but only recommended using iPhone 17 or newer models.

According to Cointelegraph, Strive CEO Matt Cole stated that the approximately $6.3 billion theft from Binance has not changed his long-term investment judgment on Bitcoin. Considering the scale of the attack and the overall market weakness, the decline in Bitcoin's price was less than he expected, but it is still too early to determine whether the price has bottomed out. Currently, the price of Bitcoin is about $77,400, down about 4% from before the attack began on Thursday. Strive previously disclosed that as of October 23, it held 43,000 BTC.Cole compared this wallet attack to a bank robbery, rather than a failure of the Bitcoin network. Paul Chapman, the financial crime chief at Wirex, also emphasized that the attack targeted a company's system, not the Bitcoin network itself.Regarding future trends, Cole believes the market is in an "early spring" recovery phase, which may last another 6 to 9 months, with prices gradually rising rather than rapidly hitting new highs. He stated that this incident would not change his investment logic regarding Bitcoin over any reasonable time span.In terms of historical market reactions, after Bybit was attacked for $1.5 billion in 2025, combined with overall market volatility, Bitcoin fell from nearly $100,000 to about $95,000, a decline of about 5%.

Blockaid CEO Ido Ben-Natan believes that the attackers may have exploited Binance's trading signature process, as his analysis found a transaction containing 50 signature authorizations, with matching authorizations allowing the code controlled by the attackers to execute through the wallet. Binance stated that as of Friday, no evidence of wallet private key leakage had been found.
