[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1045777, member: 99014"] In this case with 3 if I remember correctly, 0-day vulnerabilities, the firewall wouldn’t help you as it includes gaining access to ring 0. Once you gain that access you can bypass a whole stack of defences and there will be no beeping and peeping from the firewall whatsoever. The malware was also operating completely fileless meaning it was hiding behind trusted processes that a firewall would normally allow. Question here is until when these vulnerabilities for iMessage and Safari (2 components that can very easily be exposed to unsanitary content) will keep popping up? With so many developers working there, I am sure they can come up with some quality wrappers and other stuff to put this to an end. [/QUOTE]
