Google discovers major iPhone security flaw that affected thousands.
: “What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone.” The company has also run commercials touting the privacy features of the iPhone.after Google notified the company, which is why Google is now talking about the flaws publicly. But Google said the attack could be used against iPhone owners who visited a “small collection of hacked websites” and could have affected “thousands of visitors per week.
According to the Project Zero’s Threat Analysis Group , there were fourteen different exploits that hackers were using to take private information from iPhones. “Seven for the iPhone’s web browser, five for the kernel and two separate sandbox escapes,” the group said.One flaw let attackers gain access to private messages.
Attacks could also give hackers access to contacts, Gmail messages, photos and real-time location information, the group said, noting that attackers could also install apps. “The implant has access to almost all of the personal information available on the device, which it is able to upload, unencrypted, to the attacker’s server,” TAG explained. “The implant binary does not persist on the device; if the phone is rebooted then the implant will not run until the device is re-exploited when the user visits a compromised site again.
The flaws are fixed now, but Google said that “for this one campaign that we’ve seen, there are almost certainly others that are yet to be seen.”
