Coruna iPhone Hacking Toolkit Leak: A Wake-Up Call for Cybersecurity
In early 2026, security researchers uncovered 'Coruna,' a sophisticated iPhone hacking toolkit comprising 23 exploits across five attack chains, targeting iOS versions 13.0 through 17.2.1. Initially developed by U.S. defense contractor L3Harris's division Trenchant, Coruna was intended for government use. However, it leaked and was subsequently utilized by Russian espionage groups and Chinese cybercriminals, leading to widespread data theft and compromising tens of thousands of devices.
