SCOOP: Someone has found new samples of the iPhone spyware DarkSword and published them on GitHub, putting millions of iOS users at risk.

A cybersecurity researcher told us that the leaked spyware is "way too easy to repurpose" and "we need to expect criminals and others to start deploying this."

"The exploits will work out of the box," iVerify's Matthias Frielingsdorf said. "There is no iOS expertise required."
