Google hackers successfully use clickless exploit to hack iPhone | #CyberSecurity #Apple  | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it

From law enforcement to hacking firms everyone wants to hack iPhone. But Google, Apple’s arch-rival of sorts, has been hacking iPhone devices by identifying and exploiting critical vulnerabilities since last year.

This time, Google’s team of white hat hackers at Project Zero has identified exploitable flaws to compromise targeted iPhone devices.

According to Samuel Groß, the clickless flaw doesn’t require the victim to click on a malicious link to infect their device and attackers only need the targeted iPhone’s Apple ID to remotely compromise the phone.

It merely takes a few minutes for a hacker to steal data from the phone including passwords, emails, and text messages along with enabling other functions like microphones and cameras. All this without the user’s permission or knowledge.
