RESEARCHERS UNCOVER POSSIBLE IPHONE SPYWARE CAMPAIGN INSIDE US

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Researchers from iVerify detected behavior indicative of tampering and spyware in iPhones belonging to high-value targets in an EU member state's government, US political campaigns, media organizations, and an AI company. The hackers targeted the individuals via the “Nickname” feature in iOS, which sends a notification whenever someone's iCloud photo or name changes. Apple has fixed the vulnerability being used and claimed that it has uncovered no evidence of exploitation.
