26 iPhones were simultaneously hacked remotely via Wi-Fi

A hacker from the Google Project Zero team has found a way to hack an iPhone remotely. All you need for an attack is a Wi-Fi adapter and a Raspberry Pi.

To carry out such a hack, you need $ 100.Thanks to the method, you can get full control over your smartphone. The hacker demonstrated how he breaks into 26 iPhones using one broadcast channel. At the same time, smartphones do not even need to be connected to the network. An attacker could steal confidential data from any device in the Wi-Fi hotspot. That is, the criminal could see all the photographs, read all the correspondence, etc.

Fortunately, Apple has already closed the CVE-2020-3843 vulnerability discovered by the hacker. I did it back in May with the release of iOS 13.5. The vulnerability is said to have not been exploited by attackers.
