TL;DR

Security researchers say exploit kits DarkSword and Coruna, used by Russian intelligence and Chinese cybercriminals, can take over iPhones running older iOS versions via watering hole attacks; campaigns have targeted Ukrainians, Chinese crypto users, and residents of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Malaysia. Apple released iOS 26 and a patch for older devices to block these exploits, underscoring that keeping software up to date is the best defense against such hacks.
