Wikileaks Dump Shows CIA Was Hacking iPhones

[Ruprecht]

is that just for the mac book air they bugged or is it the same with iPhones

I thought they just had to have access to the computer?

Well your quote says Nightskies requires physical access to be installed on the iphones.

In a document describing the NightSkies malware for an iPhone 3G running iOS 2.1, released in 2008, the CIA wrote that it effectively granted the agency full control over an infected device: "The tool operates in the background providing upload, download and execution capability on the device. NS is installed via physical access to the device and will wait for user activity before beaconing. When user activity is detected, NS will attempt to beacon to a preconfigured LP [listening post] to retrieve tasking, execute the instructions, and reply with the responses in one session."

but the sequence used to activate nightskies is done during the initial set up of the phone, meaning they are installing devices on new phones?

Russialeak dumps have gotten so boring now. Let us know when you have something good to dump Comrade Assange like UFO records or something.

Don't be so cranky with Assange. He gives everyone something to smear their enemies with sooner or later. Imagine the juicy tidbits a a wikileaks Trump dump might contain in a few years.

I want to be outraged, but I already knew this. How could you not?

I understand the privacy issue, but really, if you're not doing anything illegal, what do you have to worry about? The CIA won't be uploading your sex vids to the net. You're 1 of a billion people using this shit. Are you really concerned that your conversations with Jeff, or Mike, or Sarah will be monitored?

how did you know they are the only people I talk to?

Looks like it. I wonder how they ensured the phones went where intended then.

True, maybe the peepee party tape will be in it.
