Apple Fixes Zero-Day Flaws Used to Target Activist

Apple has updated its mobile software to fix three zero-day software flaws used in an attempt to compromise a prominent United Arab Emirates-based dissident’s iPhone. The attack code has been traced to an Israeli company that sells powerful hacking tools to governments. Security experts say these types of Apple software vulnerabilities that can provide attackers with complete access to a target’s device are highly sought after and can fetch upwards of $1 million from buyers. The attacks can steal e-mails, SMS messages, iMessages, contact lists and application data.”]
