iPhones can be hacked with a new tool found in the wild

4 hours ago

iPhone hacking techniques, once rare and targeted, are now being used more broadly via infected websites.
A new technique called DarkSword can take over hundreds of millions of iOS devices running older versions of iOS 18.
DarkSword was discovered by Google, iVerify, and Lookout, and is embedded in legitimate Ukrainian websites to steal data.
The hacking campaign using DarkSword was linked to Russian state-sponsored espionage groups.
Older iOS devices and operating systems remain vulnerable, putting millions of users at risk of data theft.
