Your Iphone Could Be Hacked!!!! by WaterWalker5(m): 1:36am On Sep 20, 2021
Hello, the title of my thread sound ridiculous aiight? Yeah it was intentional. Any device no matter how secure can be hacked regardless of the security protocols employed in testing its security level. Recently Apple was hit by a security breach that employs the use of a Spyware that masquerades as an app on the IPhone.

How this Spyware is employed and its function

The spyware is accessed as an harmless download link that is accessed through the safari browser. Once the link is clicked it launches attack stage 2 which is to bypass Apple app stores security breach and downloads on the phone. Once in the phone, it Jailbreaks the phone and begins to perform normal IPhpne tasks like making calls, handling video calls, and other things IPhone is known for while spying on the user and relaying information to an hacker in a remote place. It also logs information like keystrokes which every programmer knows is a deadly thing as everything you do can be compromised.
Thankfully it was discovered by a group of Ethical hackers who were acting on the information a friend shared with them about him being under cyber attack by some individuals. The discovery was reported to Apple who were clueless at the time ( this was as recent as 3 or 4 tears ago)
Apple responded by beefing their security patches and being safe.
As I write this, there are two Spyware on the loose now
Research "Pegasus (not the mythical beast)" and "Magic Lantern"

These are two deadly Spywares being used by the FBI and some business groups to spy on unsuspecting victims.
