Cybersecurity researchers disclosed P7 DarkSword, an evolved iOS exploit kit variant that steals crypto wallet data and keychain information while enabling two-way remote command execution. The toolkit chains multiple iOS vulnerabilities to target iPhones and has been deployed by multiple threat actors including PARS Defense and Star Blizzard against victims in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Malaysia, Ukraine, and China since late 2025.
Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said the carrier is evaluating whether to launch a new flight between Atlanta and Riyadh scheduled for October 23, following escalated attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels at Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport that killed three people. Bastian stated that safety will determine the decision, while competitor Lufthansa paused Saudi Arabia flights through at least October 16.
