Apple Addresses Critical Security Vulnerabilities in Response to NSO Spyware Threat

In response to a major security issue discovered by researchers from Citizen Lab, Apple has rolled out important updates for its devices. The security flaw was related to the controversial Israeli company NSO, which has faced allegations of misconduct and surveillance of government officials and journalists. Citizen Lab revealed a significant problem known as a “zero-click vulnerability,” which means hackers could infect a device without the user even clicking on anything, like an attachment. This vulnerability was part of an exploit chain used to deliver NSO Group’s malware, called Pegasus. Apple promptly released a patch to address this issue and another vulnerability they discovered.
