Times of Israel: Israeli digital arms company has prompted tech giant Apple to boost security for its mobile operating system after developing a highly sophisticated spyware package that allows complete control of iPhone devices.
The spyware — code-named Pegasus — took advantage of previously undisclosed weaknesses in Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS 9.3.5., according to reports published Thursday by the San Francisco-based Lookout smartphone security company and internet watchdog group Citizen Lab.
The software can track calls and contacts, collect passwords, read text messages and emails, record calls and trace the whereabouts of the user.
The larhe tech firms do not want to give up ultimate control of their devices. They are, in essence, control freaks and their wealth depends on it. Hence the problem we are having in getting our smart cards. These cards are not coming from Silicon Valley because yhe ex3cs rely on socialist guatantees for their money,
But Tim gets it, and Tim knows some group is working hard in the labs to make smart card work, and it is doable. So, in the end, technology will rob our Silicon Valley execs of their socialist protection in the Swamp.
