Apple iPhones vulnerable to ongoing zero-click spyware attack via iMessage.

Kaspersky has discovered a zero-click attack called Triangulation that has been infecting iPhones with spyware since 2019. The attack affects all iPhones running iOS 15.7 or older versions but seems to be primarily aimed at iOS devices owned by Kaspersky management and key employees. The attack chain starts with attackers sending victims a specially-crafted message via Apple's iMessage service. The malware discovered will not persist on the device after a reboot, though there is evidence of reinfection for some of the affected phones. Apple has denied working with any government to insert a backdoor into any Apple product.
