iPhones running the latest iOS are subject to hacks. (Are we surprised?) iPhones running latest iOS hacked to deploy NSO Group spyware
NSO Group is an Israeli firm that helps governments spy on their citizens, enemies, whoever.
Bill Marczak, a research fellow at academic research lab Citizen Lab, also revealed that an independent peer review of Amnesty's report said that the forensic methodology is sound and led to additional evidence supporting the report's findings.
Citizen Lab was able to independently observe NSO Pegasus spyware deployed on an iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 14.6 (the OS's latest release), hacked via a zero-day zero-click iMessage exploit, which does not require interaction from the target.
While NSO Group says the software is to be used for fighting crime and terrorism, indications are that governments are targeting journalists and anyone who says bad things about the regime.
