DarkSword iOS Exploit Leaks on GitHub, Threatens Millions

I finally did the thing and updated to #iOS26 due to the #DarkSword malware and #Apple’s appalling decision to not offer #iOS18 security updates to devices capable of running iOS 26. I’m really salty about it. It makes zero sense (especially for managed corporate devices that may not be ready to update) and is dangerous.

#iOS #security

If you have an #iOS device and you have not updated, you are in danger of a zero click hack, (#DarkSword) the bones of which were just published on #GitHub.

It allows attackers to seize full control by just visiting a compromised website, without requiring any clicks, downloads, or user interaction. The malware operates in memory, deleting its own traces to avoid detection.

Update to iOS 26.3.1 or the latest available version (18.7.6 or higher). If you are running an older hardware, update to at least iOS 15, for emergency patches for older devices.

Go to Settings > General > Software Update to ensure you are fully updated.

If you cannot update immediately, or if you are at high risk, enable Lockdown Mode. This is an extreme, high-security mode. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Lockdown Mode and turn it on.
