[QUOTE="Stenographers, post: 1045780, member: 97396"] That is a fair point that it won’t stop a 0 day, but I’m left trying to find indicators for iOS devices that never see the corporate Wi-Fi and particular circumstances prevent us from putting our VPN on them. So no real way to collect network traffic to look for oddities. No way to check iMessage to see if one of those messages was sent. I could go on but it feels like we’re flying blind. iMessage and Safari have vulnerabilities more frequently than other software, as they’re very attractive targets. you can send anyone something that will display on the screen of that device, or in this case execute code without your permission. That is a very potent attack surface so I expect to only see more stories like this. I will point out that the fact there is a way for someone to send an iMessage, something advertised for security, and compromise a device completely makes me scratch my head a little bit. If I could get rid of iMessage in the family and get us all on signal I’d be happy. [/QUOTE]
