"Operation Triangulation: Unprecedented iPhone Exploit Campaign Unveils Unknown Hardware Vulnerabilities"

Kaspersky has uncovered details about "Triangulation," a highly sophisticated iOS spyware that exploited previously unknown Apple hardware features and zero-day vulnerabilities. The malware, which affected iPhones on iOS 15.7 and earlier, could activate without user interaction and access the device's physical memory, leaking sensitive data like microphone recordings and location. Although the latest Apple firmware patches these vulnerabilities, the origin and knowledge of the exploits used by the spyware remain a mystery, with some speculating on possible internal sources or reverse engineering by hackers. Apple has updated its devices to fix the security flaws, but the implications of the spyware's capabilities continue to raise concerns.
