Apple iPhone Spyware Alert: New DarkSword Hack Could Still Reach Millions of Unpatched Devices
Google, iVerify, and Lookout disclosed a new iPhone exploit chain, DarkSword, that can fully compromise certain iOS 18 devices via infected websites. The toolkit has been active since at least November in campaigns linked to Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Malaysia, and Ukraine. Apple said the flaws have been fixed in recent updates. Researchers estimate up to 270 million devices may remain exposed if not updated.
