Like it or not, all electronic devices are likely to be hacked. Even if we put the package on security. And the iPhone, described by its users and designers to be inviolable, is no exception. This is what a report from IVERIFY, a security company that has highlighted a safety flaw on the flagship product of Apple, highlights.
How was the espionage attempt detected?
Well, according to Iverify, the culprit is iOS, the Apple operating system and therefore the iPhone. Indeed, an iOS functionality allows you to know when a contact that you have on iCloud changes its profile (name or photo). This flaw would therefore have been used on iPhone and would have caused suspicious crashes.
For its part, Apple had told one of the users that its iPhone had a suspicious activity.
For Apple, iOS is not in question
Although the Cupertino firm has recognized that a bug, corrected since then, could have existed, formally denies the conclusions of Iverify which say that this flaw in iOS did not allow spy software to integrate into the devices of senior officials.
However, IVERIFY supported its conclusions based on the expertise of other companies specializing in cybersecurity, but also by approaching government entities. If no one has been pointed out about this attempted spying on Europe and the United States, some looks are turning to China.
On the Apple side, the company does not bother, iOS is for nothing. A particularly logical position from a business point of view since the Cupertino firm is difficult to see, boosting for years having developed a safe system for its users, admitting that such ridiculous flaw could have allowed spy software to interfere in a device.
For the time being, the fault on iOS has been clogged and everything seems to have returned to normal.
