Google found a damning iPhone hack (1 Viewer)

But some of the facts aren't adding up. It's complete bullshit that they will not say what sites these were on. Are they mainstream? Jailbreak? Porn?

Speaking of hacking I get an average of three phones a day from "Apple Support" saying i need to call a number about my account. I know it's a fraud and I don't answer it but each time they use a different number and city and always the same girl in the recorded message. I would say so far this year they have called me over 50 times!!

That’s not hacking. That’s robocalling trying to scam you out of money. They might also try to convince you to accept to their anti-malware services which will allow them to then hack you.

You’re right, it is complete bullshit that Apple hasn’t said what sites these were on. In fact it’s complete bullshit that they have kept so quite on this entire subject.

First, the sophisticated attack was narrowly focused, not a broad-based exploit of iPhones “en masse” as described. The attack affected fewer than a dozen websites that focus on content related to the Uighur community.

Still too many unanswered questions

Apple’s institutional approach to secrecy cuts against its goal to have the most secure devices.

And their desire to be a voice promoting minorities stops when comes to their financial reliance on China, making them unwilling to communicate simple facts about their security weaknesses being used by a nation-state against an ethnic minority.

Apple needs to do better.
