Update your iPhones

[ergophobe]

I notice that in recent years, Apple fans do a lot less sneering about how secure Apple products are. If you have a large enough market share, you'll get hacked. The tools that build the tools that build the tools that build the product are vulnerable.

Unfortunately, the obvious alternative to the iPhone is the Android... which is I why I reluctantly still have an iPhone.

WHAT HAPPENED
Security researchers at the Citizen Lab disclosed the vulnerability, dubbed FORCEDENTRY, and the exploit code to Apple on Tuesday, September 7. The Citizen Lab determined that Israel's NSO Group used the vulnerability to remotely exploit and infect the latest Apple devices with the Pegasus spyware.

"This spyware can do everything an iPhone user can do on their device and more," said John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at Citizen Lab, to The New York Times. Read more details about the vulnerability and the exploit, on the Citizen Lab website.
