iPhone hacking tools leaked online, posing major risk

Advanced hacking toolkits, Coruna and DarkSword, have been leaked online, potentially exposing millions of iPhones and iPads to data theft. These sophisticated tools, capable of exploiting vulnerabilities in iOS versions from 13 to 18.7, allow attackers to gain full control of devices and steal sensitive information like messages, location history, and cryptocurrency. While Coruna's origins are linked to U.S. defense contractor L3Harris and potentially Russian spies, DarkSword's development and leak remain unclear, though it has been observed targeting users globally. The public availability of these tools, particularly DarkSword on platforms like GitHub, significantly lowers the barrier for cybercriminals and government actors to launch widespread attacks against Apple users with outdated software.
