Have you wondered that your iPhone might not be as private as you think? A recent article from Wired confirms what we've been saying all along: Apple's closed ecosystem, while secure in some ways, fails to protect your privacy at scale.

@purism Kaspersky also agreed with this after their #iPhones were hacked:
"The main reason for this incident is the proprietary nature of iOS... a “black box”, in which spyware like Triangulation can hide for years... a perfect haven for spyware... users are given the illusion of security associated with the complete opacity of the system.
"What actually happens in iOS is unknown to cybersecurity experts, and the absence of news about attacks in no way indicates their being impossible – as we’ve just seen."

A few other researchers did not shy away from calling the undocumented issue that made this possible a #backdoor!
