Good news for people with older iPhones. Patch your stuff.

Apple Will Push Out Rare ‘Backported’ Patches to Protect iOS 18 Users From DarkSword Hacking Tool

As DarkSword spreads, Apple tells WIRED it will enable iOS 18-specific fixes for millions of iPhone owners who remain on that iOS version rather than force them to update to iOS 26.

So... Peter Williams of L3Harris Trenchant covertly sells exploit kits like Coruna, which was developed for the US, to other countries - gets 7 years in prison.

DarkSword is found soon after, likely developed from Coruna.

Meanwhile,US uses Israeli Spyware companies to build exploit kits, which are contracted to other countries to surveil protest movements, journalists, and citizens alike.

Hey US Government!.. maybe you should stop producing and funding exploit kits and spyware?

@evacide nice!

I'm so relieved, was dreading the upgrade to "glassy slop"

@evacide Thank goodness, I can't believe it had gotten this far until Apple caved.

@evacide damn you mean I could have stayed on 18 for a bit longer and kept my sanity without the Liquid Glass crap
