And, even if your phone is updating it may be doing a fake update and then show you that you did update to whatever version Apple says is "safe" for this exploit but in fact Pegasus was in control the entire time. Get a new phone ASAP.

- tannedNerd 10y agoI guess I've never dug deep into how a iPhone restore to default from iTunes works, but does it actually zero out the whole disk or is it possible for this exploit to survive that.
- nacs 10y agoThere are 2 ways. It can do a quick reinstall or it can do a full flash that wipes out everything (you can force it to do that by holding shift or the Apple key or something when clicking the restore button).
