> I am under the impression iMessage is pretty secure Why's that? (I'm asking seriously, because I don't understand how people get this impression.) iMessage has some very fundamental design flaws that led to this attack: https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2016/03/21/attack-of-week-apple-imessage/ https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2016/03/21/attack-o... The attack is not super-spectacular, but the more worrying thing is that the design is not sound. They use an ad-hoc crypto construction that fails to follow usual best practices. And they haven't really fixed it, they just put some duct tape over it to avoid the attack.
