On this week's episode of The Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast, Sherrod DeGrippo is joined by Christine Fossaceca, Laurie Kirk, and Apurva Kumar. Today's discussion concerns a recent release from the Chaos Computer Congress, where researchers discovered and analyzed a zero-click attack on iPhones. The attack involves four zero-day vulnerabilities in iOS, requiring a malicious iMessage, a hardware bug, and a Safari exploit. The spyware discovered was specifically targeting security researchers. Sherrod, Christine, Laurie, and Apurva explore the significance of this attack, its implications for mobile security, the concept of zero-click attacks becoming more prevalent on mobile devices, and the importance of researchers being vigilant about their security.
