Knowing if your device is infected can be tricky—but there are a few steps you can take to protect yourself.Zero-Click AttacksSpyware gives attackers access to the smartphone’s mic and allows them to view everything you write, including messages on encrypted apps such as WhatsApp and Signal. They can also track your location, collect passwords, and harvest information from apps.In the past, spyware was delivered via phishing, requiring the victim to click on a link or download an image. Today, it can be delivered in so-called “zero-click attacks” via an iMessage or WhatsApp image that will automatically plant spyware on your device.In 2021, researchers at Google’s Project Zero detailed how an iMessage-based zero-click exploit was used to target a Saudi activist. “Short of not using a device, there is no way to prevent exploitation by a zero-click exploit; it's a weapon against which there is no defense,” the researchers warned.The spyware infection chain using zero-click exploits via iMessage was demonstrated by security outfit Kaspersky as part of its Operation Triangulation research last year.All that needs to happen is, the victim receives an iMessage with an attachment containing a zero-click exploit. “Without any further interaction, the message triggers a vulnerability, leading to code execution for privilege escalation and providing full control over the infected device,” says Boris Larin, principal security researcher at Kaspersky's Global Research & Analysis Team.Once the attacker establishes their presence on the device, he says, the message is automatically deleted.

And yet you still can't run a compiler on it and run your own code.It's the gayest possible computer.

>>100363159>iPhone maker has detected spyware>detected spyware>detectedit was their officially designated backdoor and now that's in the open, apple's acting surprised and like they're doing stuff
>>100370190>apple's acting surprised and like they're doing stuffworse happened when some researchers found secret debugging registers that acted as a backdoor in the m series chips that completely bypassed memory protection. apple said nothing. mainstream media said nothing. it was discovered via malware spread by jews. since it's a hardware issue then apple can only do so much on the software side so millions of m1 and m2 machines are still exploitable.
>>100363159Why Apple users would care when Apple sells user data illegally to third parties? They just pay 200 million dollars and make 600 million profit after that. Microsoft, Google, Amazon etc. just literally tell you what data they get and use but Apple is only one ILLEGALLY getting the data and SELLING it to random companies to China and Russia.Apple uses that money to make that "iPhone = privacy" propaganda and it apparently works because Apple users and anons here are so stupid.
>>100363159The zero click attacks are especially tailored for the target and it costs millions of dollars to develop. If they used it for everyone else just to harvest data then it will be patched by apple the next day because of too many reports and incidents. The "spyware" is a problem only because it is being targeted to special people only and apple takes time to patch it. And they do get patches, this is how governments waste billions to spy on special interests. And these spywares are mostly developed by israeli companies.

>>100363159The title made me think the intended firmspyware was getting worse, and left me hoping EU would ream Apple's ass again.You've left me disappointed OP>>100373404I am that exploit. When I go fix someone's phone it magically works again. It's a very short-term hack however, gets completely flushed out of system memory in anywhere between half an hour and a week.
