Jemand hat ein Exploit-Kit veröffentlicht, mit dem Millionen von iPhones gehackt werden können

Tldr: Its time to upgrade to ios 26.x.

I put it off for a long time due to numerous issues at launch but in the last 4ish months it has become as solid as 18.x ever was.

If you have an ipad, avoid 26.2. Get on 26.3 asap. The scrolling issues on 26.2 were insane.

> One comment, likely written by one of the developers who worked on DarkSword, says that the exploit “reads and exfiltrates forensically-relevant files from iOS devices via HTTP,” referring to stealing information from a person’s iPhone or iPad and sending the data over the internet to an attacker-controlled server.

Whoever built DarkSword should face criminal prosecution. They were selling their cyber weapons to the highest bidder and authoritarian governments. Its absolutely crazy that these malware and hacking companies are free to do whatever they like.

> according to Google, DarkSword was spotted earlier when hackers used it to compromise the phones of victims in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Malaysia. In the case of the Turkish and Malaysian targets, Google writes in its blog post that customers of the Turkish security and surveillance firm PARS Defense appear to have used the intrusion tool.

Sure, “someone” “leaked.” It’s targeted and intended to manipulate markets.

I think they’ll be targeting Apple more and more now. Especially iOS.
