Two weeks after the DarkSword iOS hacking tool was revealed, Apple is taking the rare step of pushing a security fix to older iOS 18 iPhones rather than just telling users to update to iOS 26, as it had previously done. (Which left millions of iOS 18 users vulnerable.) https://www.wired.com/story/apple-will-push-out-rare-backported-patches-to-protect-ios-18-users-from-darksword-hacking-tool/

This makes twice in one month that Apple has pushed patches for older versions of iOS in response to a sophisticated iPhone hacking technique in the wild, after backporting patches for iOS 17 devices to protect them from the Coruna iOS hacking toolkit. https://www.wired.com/story/coruna-iphone-hacking-toolkit-us-government/
