A major hacking tool has leaked online, putting millions of iPhones at risk. Here’s what you need to know

Security researchers have uncovered a series of cyberattacks targeting Apple customers across the world. The tools used in these hacking campaigns have been dubbed Coruna and DarkSword, and they have been used by both government spies and cybercriminals to steal data from people’s iPhones and iPads. 

It’s rare to see widespread hacks targeting iPhone and iPad users. In the last decade, the only precedents have been attacks against Uyghurs Muslims in China, and against people in Hong Kong.
