'DarkSword' Attack Targets iPhones via Phishing Emails

The 'DarkSword' phishing campaign is actively targeting iPhones by sending emails that link to malicious sites hosting DarkSword and exploiting unpatched iOS vulnerabilities (reported against iOS 18.4–18.7). Proofpoint links the campaign to the Russian Federal Security Service, notes a modest rise in targeting of international organizations, and stresses that users should update devices immediately as Apple has released patches for affected versions.
