iOS Users Beware: New Zero-Click Hack Installs Root-Privilege Malware.

A new advanced persistent threat (APT) campaign called Operation Triangulation has been discovered targeting iOS devices since 2019. The campaign uses zero-click exploits via iMessage to infect devices with root-privilege malware, giving complete control over the device and user data. The malware is capable of harvesting sensitive information and running code downloaded as plugin modules from a remote server. The attack chain begins with the iOS device receiving a message via iMessage that contains an attachment bearing the exploit. The exact scale and scope of the campaign remains unclear, and it's not known if the attacks are taking advantage of a zero-day vulnerability in iOS.
