ZecOps chief executive Zuk Avraham suspects the hacking is part of a chain of malicious programs.
Apple Inc is planning to fix a flaw that a security firm said may have left more than half a billion iPhones vulnerable to hackers.
Apple declined to comment on Avraham’s research, which was published yesterday, that suggests the flaw could be triggered from afar and that it had already been exploited by hackers against high-profile users. Avraham, a former Israeli Defence Force security researcher, said he suspected that the hacking technique was part of a chain of malicious programs, the rest undiscovered, which could have given an attacker full remote access. Apple declined to comment on that prospect.
Two independent security researchers who reviewed ZecOps’ discovery found the evidence credible but said they had not yet fully recreated its findings.
