I’m not an expert, but would’t a VPN (commercial or to a server with known exit IP) prevent such attacks? It will kick out the MITM.
Also I wonder if the lock down mode could block it.
- fullspectrumdev 3y agoYes and also yes. These attacks when launched by government entities pretty much always rely on placing a box at the ISP that does the targeted interception/MiTM against a subset of subscribers. So using a VPN would ensure your traffic is tunnelled “beyond” their reach. Lockdown mode also would have prevented the iOS exploit chain, apparently.
