Apple released a security update for older iPhone and iPad models to protect against the DarkSword spyware, which can infect devices through a single website visit. The spyware was made more accessible after a leaked version was posted on GitHub.

Apple has released a new security update, iOS 18.7.7 and iPadOS 18.7.7, for older iPhone and iPad models to address the DarkSword exploit. The update is crucial for devices that cannot upgrade to the latest iOS 26 or have not been updated yet. The DarkSword spyware can compromise a device simply by visiting a hacked website, allowing attackers to gain deep access to the device. Cybersecurity researchers warned that the leak of the DarkSword toolkit on GitHub has made it easier for hackers to target outdated iPhones and iPads. Hundreds of millions of users are at risk unless they update their devices. The spyware was previously used in targeted campaigns, particularly against people in Ukraine.
