Millions of iPhones can be hacked with a new tool found in the wild

DarkSword is a fileless iOS data‑stealer targeting many devices running iOS 18; it uses two exploit chains and hijacks legitimate system processes to rapidly exfiltrate sensitive information (messages, passwords, health data, and cryptocurrency wallet credentials) in a non‑persistent "smash‑and‑grab" operation, suggesting both espionage and possible for‑profit cybercrime activity.
