iPhones running latest iOS hacked to deploy NSO Group spyware
Apple’s latest iOS release, hacked using zero-day zero-click iMessage exploits.
“The mechanics of the zero-click exploit for iOS 14.x appear to be substantially different than the KISMET exploit for iOS 13.5.1 and iOS 13.7, suggesting that it is in fact a different zero-click iMessage exploit,” Citizen Lab added.
Pegasus is a spyware tool developed by NSO Group and marketed as a surveillance tool “licensed to legitimate government agencies for the sole purpose of investigating crime and terror.”
“These most recent discoveries indicate NSO Group’s customers are currently able to remotely compromise all recent iPhone models and versions of iOS,” Amnesty International and Forbidden Stories said in their report.
