Default iPhone hacked but Apple does not want you to know

Tame Apple Press shocked

The Tame Apple Press has discovered much to its shock that the iPhone could be easily hacked and they would never know.

The previously unknown vulnerability in the popular messaging app WhatsApp has highlighted a huge flaw in iPhones.

According to Vice, the issue is that the iOS is so locked down it is impossible for anyone to find out if their iPhone has been hacked.

“The simple reality is there are so many 0-day exploits for iOS”, Stefan Esser, a security researcher that specializes in iOS, wrote on Twitter. “And the only reason why just a few attacks have been caught in the wild is that iOS phones by design hinder defenders to inspect the phones.”

There is no specific tool that an iPhone user can download to analyse their phone and figure out if it has been compromised. In fact, Apple insists that it will sue anyone who tries to write such code. In 2016, Apple took down an app made by Esser that was specifically designed to detect malicious jailbreaks.

According to Claudio Guarnieri, a technologist at Amnesty International, who found that a colleague of his was targeted by NSO spyware last year, said that the “irony” is that there are better tools for attackers who want to do forensics on iOS—such as Cellebrite and GrayShift—than for defenders who want to help victims.
