The security lab notes that on iPhones with Lockdown Mode enabled, the target got real-time notifications if the Pegasus spyware tried to exploit the PWNYOURHOME vulnerability. Labeled PWNYOURHOME and FINDMYPWN, these exploits were widely used by Pegasus-maker NSO Group against targets in Mexico and elsewhere. It appears that Apple’s safety tool is effective, to a certain extent, against Pegasus - one of the most devastating surveillance attacks ever documented.Ĭitizen Lab, the security group based at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, has detailed a pair of zero-click exploits that targeted iOS 15 and iOS 16 devices last year.

But YouTube today just gave more reasons to pony up a few bucks every month for YouTube Premium, especially if you’re on iOS.
