Since it is a bit buried in the comments, and not explicitly mentioned in the article, here is a working mitigation.
From the founder/CEO of ZecOps twitter directly: https://twitter.com/ihackbanme/status/1252990118945681409 https://twitter.com/ihackbanme/status/1252990118945681409
Q: If a user turns off mail sync for their accounts into the mail app, is that a mitigation?
A: Yes. If a user is not syncing emails it would mitigate the issue.
- tinus_hn 6y agoIf you turn off mail sync you can no longer read mail right?
- robbintt 6y agoYou would need to read mail with a third party app.
- 333c 6y agoYou can still manually fetch the mail.
- hkh28 6y agoManually fetching would still execute any malicious code contained in the mail if I understand the article correctly. The only way to be protected seems to be to not use Mail.app until iOS is patched.
- cataflam 6y agoCorrect. If you fetch mail, you're vulnerable (at least that's my understanding). You can use third-party apps, or Safari if it's a webmail.
