Apple fixes security flaw on older iPhones, iPads

Apple has released security updates iOS 18.7.7 and iPadOS 18.7.7 to address the DarkSword hacking toolkit, which can steal sensitive data by exploiting vulnerabilities in older devices through malicious websites. This fix is crucial as the hacking tools have been leaked online, making them accessible to a wider range of attackers. While newer devices running iOS 26 were patched earlier, this update ensures millions of users with older, unpatched devices are now protected against these sophisticated cyber threats, safeguarding messages, browsing history, location data, and cryptocurrency.
