iPhones Are Hackable? Threat Wire

A cybersecurity news roundup covering two iOS exploit kits (Karuna and Dark Sword) discovered in early 2026, both likely deployed by the same threat actor. Karuna targeted iOS 13.0–17.2.1 using 23 exploits across five chains, while Dark Sword targets iOS 18.4–18.7 with near-zero interaction required, leveraging WebGPU and kernel read/write access. Apple has issued patches and recommends updating or enabling Lockdown Mode. Also covered: Google/Android rolling back strict sideloading restrictions in favor of a new 'advanced flow' verification process with a 24-hour delay to deter scam-pressured installs, Nvidia's NemoClaw secure OpenClaw stack, a breathalyzer company hack, and a Super Micro co-founder arrest for GPU smuggling.
