Stealthy zero-click malware infects iPhones via iMessage.
Kaspersky has discovered a malware campaign that targets iPhones running up to iOS 15.7 through iMessage. The malware is a zero-click mechanism that triggers a vulnerability within the system, enabling the execution of malicious code without requiring any user interaction. The attack eradicates the initial message and exploit attachment to maintain its covert nature. The malicious software possesses the capability to gather both system and user data, as well as execute arbitrary code that is downloaded as plugin modules from the C&C server. Kaspersky's blog post provides comprehensive guidelines on determining whether your iOS device is infected with the malware.
