Google and cybersecurity companies Lookout and iVerify have detailed a new hacking technique called “DarkSword” that targets several different versions of iOS 18, potentially affecting a significant portion of iPhone users. DarkSword is a “fileless” hack that leverages exploits to access sensitive data when an iPhone visits an infected website, stealing information like passwords and messages before deleting itself. The hack has been used in various countries and its origins may be tied to a different hacking toolkit called Coruna. Apple has patched the exploits used by DarkSword, but many iOS devices are still vulnerable if not updated promptly.
