  • Why are Apple's iPhone always so easy for Paragon to break into?

    "An Italy-based human rights activist whose work supports
    the international criminal court in providing evidence about
    cases of abuse suffered by migrants and refugees held in Libyan
    detention camps and prisons has revealed that Apple informed
    him his phone was targeted in a spyware attack"

    The question isn't whether or not the iPHone is the most exploited mobile device out there, as we already full well know it by government records.

    "Yambio received an email from Apple on 13 November seen by the
    Guardian, informing him he was being targeted by a mercenary
    spyware attack that was attempting to remotely compromise the
    iPhone associated with your Apple account. The message said
    the attack is likely targeting you specifically because of
    who you are or what you do"

    Note: The question isn't whether the iPhone isn't the most insecure mobile phone in history - as that is very well established long ago that it is.

    The question is *WHY* is the iPhone so full of zero-day holes?

    Before you ask "why"...

    ...ask if it's true.
