Google has identified an iOS exploit kit named Coruna. 5 full exploit chains, 23 vulnerabilities, documentation in native English, modular architecture. Full professionalism. It must have cost millions of dollars. Who built it? Google doesn’t say, but the evidence points to US government tools. The kit also contains components previously used in a cyber operation that Russia attributed to the NSA.
Coruna traveled. First, an anonymous “company client”, then used by a Russian cyber espionage group, which hid the code on Ukrainian websites inside a visitor-counter script, delivering it only to selected users from a specific geolocation. Later a financially motivated actor “operating from China” deployed it (infecting over 42,000 devices).
The malware added to the ready-made kit was lower quality than the original suggesting the tools were acquired and modified by someone else. One US government subcontractor, Peter Williams, just received a 7-year prison sentence for selling tools to Russian broker Operation Zero. The US government spent millions on a tool that now steals cryptocurrency. A good return on investment, just not for themselves. One more detail: Coruna did not attack devices with Lockdown Mode enabled. https://t.co/cohfv8cSfV
#BREAKNG#ESETresearch identified the wiper #DynoWiper used in an attempted disruptive cyberattack against the 🇵🇱 Polish energy sector on Dec 29, 2025. At this point, no successful disruption is known, but the malware’s design clearly indicates destructive intent. 1/5

📢 Just dropped: the full #OBTS v8 talk lineup! https://t.co/WnHCvCdWqm
And for the first time we'll have 3 full days of presentations! 🤩
Congrats to the selected speakers and mahalo to all who submitted. With ~100 submissions, selecting the final talks was a daunting task! 😫
💥🍎 Offensive security on macOS is totally different than Windows or Linux, mostly because the *identity* of a process is quite strong.
Injection 💉 is almost nonexistent due to hardened runtime and sandbox, and the capabilities 🥷 of a process (entitlements) are bound to a digital signature that only Apple controls.
Those two aspects sound fundemental until you realize you get rid of so many issues that modern Windows or Linux have, like validating that a client of an IPC is indeed the intended client.
That alongside SIP, TCC, LaunchConstraints and moving almost everyone out of the kernel makes macOS offensive security unique.

Conclusion:
1. Don’t trust @thezdi , they are too late to handle our reports. One of my reports was submitted in 2024 Jan, but it is still not disclosed to the vendor. No reply from the ZDI yet!
2. Don’t trust the Parallels security!
My 10k-word writeup on exploiting a heap-overflow in Llama.cpp's RPC Server's Tensor-operation to RCE. This by far is one of the most challenging but fun exploitation I've ever researched on.
