…iPhone and iPad are the first and only consumer devices in compliance with the information assurance requirements of NATO nations. This enables iPhone and iPad to be used with classified information up to the NATO restricted level without requiring special software or settings—a level of government certification no other consumer mobile device has met.

On March 3, 2026, Google warned about a powerful exploit kit targeting Apple iPhone models running iOS version 13.0 (released in September 2019) up to version 17.2.1 (released in December 2023).
In the latest security updates, Apple patched the vulnerabilities used in the Coruna exploit kit for older mobile devices that can no longer be updated to the latest iOS version. For newer iOS versions, patches associated with the Coruna exploit were already shipped in iOS 16.6 through 17.2 in updates released in 2023 and 2024.
The Coruna exploit kit was first observed in highly targeted attacks, but was later seen in watering hole attacks targeting Ukrainian users by a suspected Russian espionage group. Later still, it appeared on a very large set of fake Chinese financial websites, suggesting the exploit was being used by more mainstream cybercriminals.
The exploit relies on WebKit vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-43000 and CVE-2024-23222) that can be triggered by processing maliciously crafted web content, and then gains kernel privileges by abusing a separate kernel vulnerability tracked as CVE-2023-41974.
The table below shows which updates are available and points you to the relevant security content for that operating system (OS).
Apple heeft nieuwe beveiligingsupdates uitgerold voor oudere iPhones om een gevaarlijk lek te dichten dat bekendstaat als Coruna. Het gaat om de updates iOS 15.8.7 en iOS 16.7.15 waarmee toestellen tot de iPhone 6s worden beschermd.
