The Sword Has Been Drawn: What DarkSword's Expansion in the Wild Means for Mobile Security and the Enterprise

Apr 1, 2026 By David Richardson In Lookout
The last few weeks have marked a chaotic turning point in the mobile threat landscape. We’ve seen mass exploitations across numerous iOS versions by multiple threat actors, driven by sophisticated exploit chains like Coruna and now DarkSword. What makes these threats different is not just their activity, but their trajectory. Until recently, these capabilities were expensive, highly secretive, and limited to a small number of advanced actors. Now, that dynamic has shifted rapidly.

Understanding the LLM Mobile Landscape in Enterprise Technology

Jan 21, 2026 By Lookout In Lookout
Mobile security has always been complex, but LLM technology has added a whole new dimension to the field. Behind every popular generative AI (genAI) tool is a comprehensive large language model (LLM) that provides data and parses queries in natural language. When used responsibly, LLMs can be useful tools for ideation and content generation. In the wrong hands, though, LLMs can help threat actors supercharge their social engineering scams.

Anatomy of a Vishing Attack: Technical Indicators IT Managers Need to Track

Jan 21, 2026 By Lookout In Lookout
If your organization hasn’t encountered a vishing attack yet, it’s probably only a matter of time. Vishing, or voice phishing, is a sophisticated type of social engineering that adds a whole new dimension to common scams. Rather than emails or text messages, threat actors employ phone calls or online voice calls to carry out vishing schemes. Particularly savvy attackers can even copy a real person’s voice to deceive, coerce, or manipulate potential victims.

LLM Security Checklist: Essential Steps for Identifying and Blocking Jailbreak Attempts

Jan 15, 2026 By Lookout In Lookout
If your organization uses a private large language model (LLM), then it’s time to start thinking about countermeasures for jailbreaking. A jailbroken LLM can lead to leaked information, compromised devices, or even a large-scale data breach. Even more troubling: Jailbreaking LLMs is often as simple as feeding them a series of clever prompts. If your customers can access your LLM, your potential risk is even higher.

Prompt Injection: The Hidden Threat Hijacking Your LLMs (and How to Stop It)

Nov 19, 2025 By Lookout In Lookout
Generative AI is rapidly transforming the way we work. The large language models (LLMs) that power tools like ChatGPT and Claude are immensely powerful, capable of providing us with research data, detailed insights, and even deep analysis of documents and data sets, all performed through simple, text-based prompts. However, these prompts have unfortunate side effects for the IT professionals assigned to protect sensitive and proprietary data from cyber attacks.
