Journalists working for Al Jazeera had their iPhones stealthily compromised via a zero-click exploit to install spyware as part of a Middle East cyberespionage campaign. The attacks occurred between July and August of this year using an exploit chain it calls KISMET, a. zero-day present in iOS 13.5.1 that could be used to break Apple’s security protections. Researchers say the 36 phones in question were hacked by four distinct “clusters” or NSO operators with. probable ties to the Saudi and United Arab Emirates governments.
