An exploit potentially developed by the US government leaked to the black market and has been used to target iPhone users globally. Bad actors that get their hands on the malicious Coruna exploit have modified it to perform other tasks, like draining crypto accounts.
Apple has shared that iOS 15.8.7 and iOS 16.7.15 updates that went out Wednesday afternoon directly target the Coruna exploit. It was previously patched via iOS 17.2 on December 11, 2023, but the latest updates mean devices back to iPhone 6s are covered.
