Apple is sending Lock Screen notifications to outdated iPhones and iPads after detecting active web-based attacks, urging users to install updates. The latest notice says Apple is aware of attacks targeting out-of-date iOS software on affected devices, and it follows the company’s earlier guidance about the Coruna and DarkSword exploit kits. Users who cannot update to a supported version are advised to enable Lockdown Mode on iOS 16 and later to reduce exposure to malicious web content.

    Apple warns older iPhone and iPad users about Coruna and DarkSword

    Initial Disclosure

    Apple warned that older iPhones and iPads running outdated iOS can be exposed to web-based attacks using the Coruna and DarkSword exploit kits, where malicious web content on compromised websites can trigger an infection chain and steal sensitive data. Apple recommended updating to iOS 15.8.7, iPadOS 15.8.7, iOS 16.7.15, or iPadOS 16.7.15 for older devices, moving devices on iOS 13 or iOS 14 to iOS 15, and enabling Lockdown Mode when updating is not possible.
