A new P7 DarkSword spyware variant is targeting unpatched Apple iPhones, researchers said on Thursday, 8 October, after finding an infection on a financial institution employee's device in August 2026. The malware can extract Keychain data, search for crypto-wallet information and receive commands to steal files, photos and notes.
The discovery was reported by mobile security company iVerify. Its researchers said P7 DarkSword is a previously unseen version of the malware associated with a wider iOS exploit chain. The company has not said which iOS version was installed on the infected device.
