Zero-Click iPhone Exploits
Citizen Lab is reporting on two zero-click iMessage exploits, in spyware sold by the cyberweapons arms manufacturer NSO Group to the Bahraini government.
These are particularly scary exploits, since they don’t require to victim to do anything, like click on a link or open a file. The victim receives a text message, and then they are hacked.

Sadly, most of us have contributed to the rise of all these monsters around us.
Most of us fed it.
Of course, as I always say: this opens up many new opportunities in terms of rising demand for “dumb” phones. Just phones. Not today’s mobile, hand-held, pocket-computers.
I don’t want to stray off topic too much but I have been wondering about the past civilizations. Think of it this way: if present humans were able to progress so much technologically in such a short period of time, AND we can all kind of see where we’re going – self destruction, just makes me really wonder how many times, on how many planets has human race evolved, then ka-boomed everything and then moved on to the next planet. Nice place – we’ll take it. Greed will consume human race – again. It’s the biggest flaw in human genome.
