This time, users who own an Iphone are being threatened. The danger was spotted by a security researcher who found a flaw in Apple's Messages app.
But what is it about?
Of a vulnerability problem, as through a message it is possible to hack the device and spy on the user.
Iphone: The message that hacks the phone

In fact, a very serious vulnerability has been highlighted in the iMessage App. And, in this way the mafactors are able to enter the device without the user having to do anything. Among other things, the victim does not even notice that he is being spied on.
But, how is it possible to hack an Apple device via a simple message?

How do users defend themselves
To counter these attacks, unfortunately, users who own an Iphone can do very little. But Apple still tried to find a way to counter this vulnerability problem.
So much so, that the parent company has released a patch which, however, it must be said honestly, does not completely prevent the device from being hacked by third parties.
This means that in order to try to stop this spying phenomenon, users must make constant updates. In fact, both for the operating system and for the Apps these are released almost every day.
Because, in this way, new versions of applications that do not contain any bugs are installed on your iPhone.
