Honestly I’m a bit concerned an infosec professional has reached for “iOS device compromise” over a…more common and lower-effort explanation.

Honestly I’m a bit concerned an infosec professional has reached for “iOS device compromise” over a…more common and lower-effort explanation.
- zamnos 4y agoIf you believe Apple's marketing that iPhones are unhackable, I have a bridge to sell you.
- wil421 4y agoWhy would someone burn a device level exploit for $5k when you could sell the exploit for 10x or even 100x more? Sounds like an easy way to burn your exploit after using it a few times to get electronics off Amazon.
- mrb 4y agoWhat makes you think this was used for only $5k? In these cases, hackers usually target many victims, not just one.
- conjuredbytes 4y agoNo need to be aggro about it. No one’s suggesting iPhones are unhackable, just that realistically utilizing an iOS or Android exploit like that is a bit much for something simple like credit card fraud. Those exploits are valuable.
- pohl 4y agoWould you cite the marketing to which you referred? I’ve never seen it.
- mrb 4y agoThe victim (ctvo) claims in another comment down the thread that he had a unique Gmail password not re-used on any other service. I commented assuming this premise is true.
- loa_in_ 4y agoDo share the explanation with us if you would kindly so please.
