Apple Sends Lock Screen Alerts to Outdated iPhones Over Active Web-Based Exploits

Apple is sending Lock Screen notifications urging users to update older iOS/iPadOS installs after researchers discovered active web-based exploit kits (Coruna and DarkSword) being used to deliver malicious payloads; Kaspersky links Coruna to the Operation Triangulation zero-click iMessage framework and experts warn that leaked or traded exploit kits could democratize zero-day capabilities, expanding the attack surface for iPhones and iPads — users unable to update are advised to enable Lockdown Mode.
