What happened?
Security firm iVerify announced a new spyware variant tied to the DarkSword iPhone exploit chain. Named P7 DarkSword, the variant affects iPhones that have not been patched.
Why it matters
DarkSword was linked to an iPhone exploit chain that surfaced earlier this year. The new variant shows the same attack path is still active and that unpatched devices are being targeted.
What to do
Updating iPhones to the latest iOS version is critical to closing known vulnerabilities. The details of iVerify's report have not yet been shared publicly.
