The "most secure" iOS was also conquered, a new iPhone vulnerability was exposed, and Apple admitted that it could not be fixed

Although Apple's technology is powerful, iOS still has some loopholes that can be exploited by people with ulterior motives. There are even some loopholes that Apple itself cannot solve.

Recently, CCTV Finance Channel broadcast a program called "Operating System Battle" which mentioned a security risk of iPhone. The report pointed out that an Israeli software monitoring company sold a spyware called "Pegasus" to some countries. This software can attack various operating systems. Even Apple, which is known as the "safest", is not immune.

According to foreign media, there are currently 50,000 numbers on Pegasus' monitoring list, covering mobile phone users in more than 50 countries. Among these 50,000 users, there are at least 14 heavyweights, including the President of France, the President of Iraq, the President of South Africa, the President of Pakistan, etc. Interestingly, after the French President learned about this, he specially changed his mobile phone and phone number.

So how powerful is this "Pegasus"? It is reported that after it invades the user's mobile phone, it can obtain all the user's information, including photos, videos, text messages, and emails. It can also record without your knowledge, turn on the camera and microphone, etc.

Apple also responded to this vulnerability, saying that it was helpless. However, Apple gave another explanation, saying that ordinary users don't need to worry because Pegasus will not attack ordinary users, mainly because ordinary users don't have any valuable information for attackers.

As the saying goes, there is only relative security, not absolute security. Even Apple is helpless against some vulnerabilities, which may affect Apple's security image in the minds of users. At least many bigwigs in the political and business circles should consider whose phone to use when changing their phones.
