As soon as Apple has developed a fix, it can push a Rapid Security Response update to all devices that have the feature turned on.This is much safer than waiting for a critical fix to arrive alongside a regular software update, which leaves you vulnerable to exploits in the meantime. ...
ROAD TRIP (15) is Hollywood's latest bid to make the most people laugh by going for the lowest common denominator as often as possible.Young, Graham
Originally the agency wanted Apple to help penetrate the San Bernardino iPhone, but it dropped that plan after finding a third party who could break into the device. It was the latest evidence of an expanding trade that sells software exploits to law enforcement (see “The...
Phone hacking usually happens after a target or victim takes some kind of action, like clicking an infected link or visiting an unsafe website. Often, phone hackers use a combination ofsocial engineering techniques, technical trickery, andexploits, allowing them to hack both Androids and iPhones. ...

Using outdated software, which often contains vulnerabilities that spywareexploits. Spyware is most commonly distributed by getting potential victims to click on a link. The link can be in an email, pop-up window or ad. Malicious code can also be embedded on legitimate websites as an advertiseme...
Remember, Apple stays on top of exploits and other security flaws in its products by regularly patching its software. For instance, after Pegasus was uncovered by researchers, Apple patched the zero-day iOS vulnerability exploited by the powerful spyware. Users of jailbroken iPhones do not have ...
This brings us to two broad categories of exploits: Bootrom exploitThis exploit is done during the bootrom. It can't be patched by a conventional firmware update and must be patched by new hardware. Since it occurs before almost any checkpoint, the malicious code is injected before everything...
GrayKey has two Lightning plugs, and requires iOS devices to be connected for about two minutes, after which the cracking starts on the device. It’s not currently known what exploits the company uses to accomplish this on-device feat that also disables a number of pas...
With kalloc_type’s randomized bucketing, the only reliable exploit strategies we are aware of would require writing several different exploits and then dynamically selecting which one to deploy based on the boot-time bucket assignment of the affected types. Furthermore, we expect that in practice...
