A new iOS exploit kit called DarkSword has been identified targeting six vulnerabilities in Apple's mobile operating system. The exploit chain is specifically designed to achieve full device compromise and is being utilized by state-sponsored threat actors and commercial spyware vendors for surveillance purposes.

The exploit kit represents a significant threat to iOS users, as it can lead to complete device takeover. The targeting of six separate vulnerabilities suggests a sophisticated attack chain designed to bypass multiple layers of iOS security protections.
