Blockchain security firm Certik has warned OKX Wallet users to update their iOS app after a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability was found in a previous version.

Last week, an exploit targeting Ledger's Connect Kit saw $484,000 being siphoned out of various protocols that used Ledger's integration.
