News Comment #3

Apple issued an emergency software update when they found out that an Israeli NSO Group was using a “zero click” hack on Apple products. This NSO Group was mainly hacking the messaging software that Apple uses and gaining access to things like the camera, microphone, messages, and phone calls. The spyware used is called Pegasus and it doesn’t need for the user to click on anything to gain access to their phone.

More than 1.65 billion Apple products were subject to this security vulnerability. This spyware has been used multiple times in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Mexico.

I thought this article was well written and very explanatory without being boring. Technology like this somewhat bores me but I was very interested because I own Apple products myself. The author was good about keeping the most important facts at the top of the article and putting more detailed information at the bottom. They had a really great lead, which obviously got me to read it.
