The Google security team has discovered a way to hack the iPhone using iOS 12.4. How? Exploits a security vulnerability in the old iOS version that allows remote access to the phone in minutes. Unbelievable, but true!
Although many believed that the iOS system was difficult to hack, the Google team did not cost him much time.
One of the investigators explained that the vulnerability that was identified as CVE-2019-8641 allowed the attack as soon as the victim's Apple ID was known. Of course, in order to hack, a person must have an iOS 12.4 device. The attack allows information extraction and the operation of both the microphone and the camera.
The analyst explained that once you get the phone number or email address of the Apple account, you can exploit the vulnerability and remotely control the victim's iPhone in a few minutes. Thanks to this, files, passwords, 2FA codes, text messages or emails can be extracted.
In any case, everything has already been solved with the new versions of iOS. But if you are still using the old version then you are vulnerable to hacking.
