"Kaspersky Exposes 'Operation Triangulation': The Most Advanced iPhone Exploit Campaign Using Undocumented Hardware Vulnerabilities"

Kaspersky's 'Operation Triangulation' report details a sophisticated iOS malware attack, dubbed the most advanced seen by the firm, which exploits four zero-day vulnerabilities in Apple's A12 - A16 Bionic SoCs. Initiated via a zero-click iMessage, the malware gains root access to iPhones, allowing full control over the device without user interaction. Although patches have been released for some vulnerabilities, the malware has been updated for newer iOS versions, and the best defense is to keep iOS updated. Kaspersky's investigation continues, highlighting the challenges of hardware security and the risks of relying on security through obscurity.
