America didn't stop giving aid to Israel despite 53 years of military occupation and apartheid. You think this is going to be the thing that changes the status quo on Israel?
Sponsoring international terrorism used to be a real faux pas in the U.S. I guess those days are over.
America should stop giving aid to Israel as long as Israeli companies are going to assist in getting journalists arrested/murdered/dismembered.
Bull of France in Libya. Bluecoat in Syria. Siemens in iraq and Iran. Nokia in Bahrain. Cisco in China. ... The list is literally endless. Yet only Israeli companies are culpable in your mind and to such an extent that the entire state must be sanctioned. No less.
Your hypocrisy is leaking.

At the risk of sounding pessimistic, there's no value in changing anything if the current course of action aligns with the long term interest of US policymakers and their stakeholders.

Most likely the malware is using SSL so packet sniffing from an external device isn't gonna work. And it's apple, so at best you might find a firewall among their tightly locked down app store. Don't worry, apple knows what's good for you far better than you ever could ::eye roll::
A lot of the teams inside Apple who create first-party apps like iMessage are understaffed compared to their competitors. They should really hire more security folks. A lot of Apple's product security work seems to be outsourced to Google Project Zero.
How come when we hear about this stuff it is always Israeli companies involved? Is ethics not taught in Israeli Computer Science curricula? Those who wrote this exploit are clearly "brilliant" and at least some of them are bound to be reading Hacker News. Is other countries' spyware firms just better at hiding their malware than Israel's is?
A few years ago bluecoat systems was caught providing deep packet inspection gear to the Syrian government. But that wasn’t Israel so no biggie and you either never heard about it or didn’t pay much attention because it wasn’t Israel.
American and European companies do this all the time but it’s not sensationalized to the same degree. That’s just business as usual.
It was awesome when Facebook deleted NSO group employees personal profiles. And then they whined about it. The silver lining of Facebook owning WhatsApp. I hope more organizations do this. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/10/faceb...

It’s called selection bias. It’s fun and always acceptable to hate on Israel. It’s also more memorable due to the sensationalization of it.

But it’s perfectly ok for European or American companies to do the same. Bull of France in Libya. Bluecoat in Syria. Siemens in iraq and Iran. Nokia in Bahrain. Cisco in China. ...

Be polite.
