Following the news that Apple sent alerts warning iPhone owners in 92 countries that they may have been the subject of a spyware attack, a report appears to point the finger at a specific piece of malware that has links to China.
Apple sent the warnings to people in 92 countries last week, saying that “Apple detected that you are being targeted by a mercenary spyware attack that is trying to remotely compromise the iPhone associated with your Apple ID." The warning continued, saying that the "attack is likely targeting you specifically because of who you are or what you do. Although it’s never possible to achieve absolute certainty when detecting such attacks, Apple has high confidence in this warning — please take it seriously." But Apple didn't get into specifics. Now, it seems that BlackBerry researchers may have some answers.
