Apple alerts users in 92 nations to state-sponsored / mercenary-spyware attacks
Apple sent threat notifications to iPhone users in 92 countries on Wednesday, warning them that they may have been targeted by mercenary spyware attacks. Apple has warned users in 92 nations of possible mercenary spyware attacks.
Later, nonprofit advocacy group Amnesty International reported that it had found Israeli spyware maker NSO Group’s invasive spyware Pegasus on the iPhones of prominent journalists in India.
Of course it's fucking Pegasus.
If you haven't seen the Frontline doc on it you should.
I’m of the opinion that we need to start calling NSO Group a terrorist organization.
Also; Modi and BJP. Carrying out assassinations in Canada should get you on that list.
Lol I've said this before on lemmy, everyone and their mom bought the Pegasus toolkit from Israel, even the nations that still don't recognize Israel.
If you are a high value target, you should not carry normal phones made for normal people.
Its sad that none of the dumb phones were built with security in mind. Linux phones are the second best option, GrapheneOS and CalyxOS would be the least you should go.
Alot of people told me "No these old phones cannot do modern crypto" and I am like they managed to put in full 3d games for Nokia 5130c2 and 5300 such as "1916 Dogfight" and "Need for speed carbon" I am sure these phones have enough processing power to do all the modern crypto if someone tried to.
Linux on phone is great for privacy but can you say that on security ?? It's open source, not very popular. We've seen how it can go wrong recently.
Id put it in third after grapheneos. But the end result is that it's not suitable anyway.
Do you understand what you say?
Me feeling left out.
