"Kaspersky's iShutdown Tool Detects Pegasus Spyware on iOS Devices"

Cybersecurity researchers have developed a new method called iShutdown to detect spyware like Pegasus on Apple iOS devices by analyzing the "Shutdown.log" file, which records reboot events and environment characteristics. The method involves identifying reboot delays caused by spyware-related processes and specific filesystem paths used by spyware families. Kaspersky has released Python scripts to extract and analyze the log file, emphasizing the lightweight and accessible nature of this approach. Additionally, SentinelOne has revealed that information stealers targeting macOS are adapting to evade Apple's XProtect antivirus technology, highlighting the need for more advanced detection methods beyond signature-based approaches.
