On August 8, CCTV Financial Channel broadcast a special program focusing on PC and mobile device operating systems. In this report, there is a message that Apple doesn't understand. According to the data, an Israeli software monitoring company was exposed to sell a mobile phone spy APP called "Pegasus" to some countries. Moreover, this APP is very awesome and can break through various mobile phone operating systems. For example, Apple iOS, which claims to be the safest, has not been spared.
More interestingly, in the face of "Pegasus", Apple's official response is that "Pegasus vulnerability" cannot be fixed.
However, Apple also responded that "Pegasus" will not attack ordinary users, and Apple will continue to upgrade to protect users. So what can this spyware called Pegasus do? Once the information shows that it invades your mobile phone system, people with ulterior motives can read photos, text messages, even extract email messages and record calls without the owner's feeling at all; Camera, microphone, etc. of remote account opening mobile phone. Look how terrible this is. ...
After this incident was exposed, there was a very interesting story: the French president immediately changed his Apple phone and his mobile phone number.
Smart phone operating system itself is not absolutely secure, only relatively secure. Just like iOS is more secure than Android. But there will always be people with ulterior motives in this world, and both Apple and Android have been fighting against such people. What we can do is try to avoid privacy leakage, don't download apps of unknown origin, and be more careful in daily use.
