In moments. No warning. No trace. Total takeover. In March 2026, a new breed of mobile threat emerged: DarkSword. This sophisticated iOS exploit chain doesn’t need a phishing link or a malicious app download. Just one visit to a compromised website is enough to expose your entire enterprise. In this video, we dissect the DarkSword attack path—from the initial Safari iframe encounter to the kernel-level takeover—and show you how the threat disappears before most security teams even know it’s there.
