Coruna, DarkSword iOS Exploits Proliferate Globally

Sophisticated iPhone exploit chains, DarkSword and Coruna, are rapidly spreading beyond nation-state actors and into the hands of organized cybercrime groups. These advanced tools, initially developed for surveillance and now adapted by criminals, are becoming increasingly complex and difficult to detect. Researchers have observed a significant shift, with threat actors utilizing both DarkSword and Coruna simultaneously, combining techniques and creating 'hybrid' variants. Apple has patched many of the underlying vulnerabilities, but the proliferation of these tools and their evolving capabilities represent a growing threat to iOS users worldwide.
