What happened

The collection highlights multiple high-impact security stories: a new iOS full-chain exploit chain named DarkSword (multiple zero-days) used by suspected state actors to fully compromise devices; GPU rowhammer attacks against NVIDIA Ampere cards that can flip GDDR bits and lead to full host memory compromise when IOMMU is disabled (default BIOS setting); evidence that advanced AI (Anthropic Claude Mythos) can autonomously find and weaponize large numbers of vulnerabilities (Mozilla used it to find 271 security issues in Firefox), raising systemic risk from automated exploit generation; and re
