Patch now: DarkSword toolkit pushes urgent iPhone update
Apple urges iPhone users to update to iOS 26.3+ after the DarkSword hacking toolkit appeared on GitHub, enabling JavaScript-based malware (Ghostblade, Ghostknife) that can steal data, record audio, or reveal location on devices running iOS 18.4–18.7; vulnerabilities are fixed by 26.3 (and 26.3.1), and up-to-date devices are not vulnerable. Update via Settings > General > Software Update, or use Background Security Improvements for immediate patches; GTIG notes the toolkit has been used to target regions including Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Ukraine.
