#3Journalists as messengers have always been targeted, and even killed, and it seems that Apple’s messaging system was the attack vector here.
While the article decries NSO being nefarious and selling to suspect “authoritarian” countries, high schools here in our democratic US have been buying hacking solutions to spy on students:

This is a dupe but seems to go into more technical detail. There’s no mention of iMessage in The Guardian’s coverage.

It's all sensational articles though. Show me the bug they used to exploit iMessage. That'd be far more interesting that this Cold War madness we read everyday.

I think you misread. The exploit effects all ios’ before ios 14, not just ios 11

#9Apple needs to do a serious architecture of how its own apps work. Its clearly unacceptable that their own apps are not sandboxed to the same level as everything else. If its not possible to implement all of imessage with the public APIs then they need to find a way to expose those private APIs publicly in a safe way.
imessage and facetime have been a constant source of exploits.

"In July 2020, KISMET was a zero-day against at least iOS 13.5.1 and could hack Apple’s then-latest iPhone 11."
