What happened
This collection of Schneier blog posts highlights multiple high-impact security developments: Google TAG/GTIG disclosed DarkSword, a likely government-designed full-chain iOS exploit leveraging multiple zero-days used by surveillance vendors and state actors against targets in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Malaysia, and Ukraine; Anthropic’s Claude Mythos/’Mythos Preview’ AI can autonomously find and weaponize software vulnerabilities (and was used to surface 271 security flaws in Firefox), raising broad abuse and disclosure risks; Fast16 is revealed as an early state-sponsored sabotage malware predawn
