Apple said that hackers can gain full management rights of devices through this vulnerability. This means that an intruder can impersonate the owner of the device and run any software. According to the Associated Press, if commercial spyware companies identify and exploit this security vulnerability, they will use malware to infect the target smartphone, steal its content and monitor it. At present, NSO Group has been blacklisted by the US Department of Commerce.
It is understood that spyware has been active in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, but experts say that for ordinary people, the vulnerability is unlikely to have a large-scale impact. When mobile phone vulnerabilities are exploited, they are often quite targeted, and attacks are generally concentrated on a few people. It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Apple has had a security hole in recent years.
In July, 20021year, a security company released a report saying that there were loopholes in iPhone, and hackers could steal it through spyware without users clicking any links.
