Exactly. OBVIOUSLY the phone retains settings upon reboots, so the spyware can detect when phone is about to reboot, silence phone, send s.o.s to command server, and on reboot they immediately send that sms if they know the reboot was automatic (software update, not user running out of battery...virtually no user reboots for fun). But then again, I find a logical flaw in the declaration that the spyware disappears on reboot... If spyware gains root access, then it can install any app... It can emulate any user touch... Hence it would download some NSA-controlled app from the App store and remain alive after reboots with no need for further "sms in middle of the night" chance of discovery... I'm basically saying Kaspersky is wrong - they're missing a major piece of the puzzle on how NONE of these SECURITY EXPERTS reported no weird behavior on their phones and the spyware remained persistent for 4 d*** years...

Source for Linux being contacted ?

@@TomTom-gx1sm I quote: "Far from being a rumour, word of the approach comes via Linus’ father, Nils Torvalds. As a Member of the European Parliament (MEP), Nils was present at recent committee inquiry held on the “Mass Surveillance of EU Citizens”. Here, representatives from a number of companies named in documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden were questioned about their own (alleged) involvement. Following a question put to a Microsoft spokeswoman by Pirate Party MEP Christian Engström on whether the company willingly include “backdoors” for the NSA in their system, Nils Torvalds MEP said: When my oldest son [Linus Torvalds] was asked the same question: “Has he been approached by the NSA about backdoors?” he said “No”, but at the same time he nodded. Then he was sort of in the legal free. He had given the right answer …everybody understood that the NSA had approached him. If that sounds familiar to you then you might have seen the snippet on KZfaq. Linus went on to insist that he was joking, and that the NSA had not approached him. But, speaking at November 11th’s inquiry, his father seems to think otherwise. Following on from allegations that Google, Yahoo!, Facebook and, indeed, Microsoft are among the many companies wilfully cooperating with the agency to provide “backdoor” access to their systems, this revelation is far from earth-shattering. In fact, is makes sense in the grand scheme of things. After all, why wouldn’t the NSA ask Linus to do this? While Nils doesn’t explain how Linus responded - I’d like to think it involved two fingers - we can be sure that it, at the very least, involved an explanation of how open source prevents something like that being possible. If any holes were left around for the NSA’s overly-long tentacles to creep into, you can bet your bottom dollar that they’d have been found, exposed and rooted out long before now." End of quote. Just one snippet from Omgubuntu, but there are many more, see Google for mainstream and other sources that go deeper down the rabbit hole for more info on the subject. That said, the last part is pretty amusing to me, considering how old security exploits, some of which went undetected and are many years old, have been found in recent years, meaning that there is no 100% security - ever. There is "more secure" but no "completely immune or 100% secure". In other words, I believe it's totally possible that there are security holes left open to exploit and I believe there always will be. There is a video about Nils, feel free to check it out. 👍🏻

Give them enough money, and they’ll do it.

This is false. It would be true if Apple hadn't made any statements, but they did make a statement, and an incredibly damning one if they had actually done something like that. They would be fully legally liable not just for compromising every customer's privacy and security in violation of their own terms and contracts, but it would also constitute just flat out fraud at a scale that would end the company once it hit a court and a judge - even one friendly to Apple. Their statement didn't leave any legal wiggle room, and the only way the legal department at a company like Apple would _ever_ sign off on that kind of statement would be if it were 100% factual.

@@babybirdhome Sure, and then they'll have to pay a sum that amounts to a slap on the wrist at best, because Apple actually being ruined means a bunch of exonomies also get ruined, which nobody in charge of anything really wants or is in a position to allow.

@@babybirdhomeyou agree to it in the tos and they also have legal end runs they and the gov figured out like having the neural net scan your device for xyz, pre encryption client side scanning, etc. when they tout security and privacy they are speaking about their apparent efforts to "protect" your data from unknown third parties - NOT themselves nor the govt. Besides 5 Eyes works out all kinds of ways to do this and they already passed laws that allow nsa to scan americans computers, and apple says "no apple employee is viewing your data"- true, but the search queries are being made and done remotely, sometimes over a nearby iphone. you'll never know if your "hacked", cuz it’s built into the Os. When they admit they’re doing something cuz they were caught they always lie and obfuscate and use slimey lawyer doublespeak, they use an excuse like T roar jism or p dough files, etc- zthen they claim they've stopped. as they have multiple ways to accomplish this they've likely only switched to another method of scanning your data.

Or paid to introduce mistakes.

I think it would be a risky move on the NSA's part. It's MUCH less risky for them to hack the Apple employees life (all dig devices) and cause him to infect Apple work machines, so the NSA can see the actual source code. With that, they can EASILY find numerous exploits... If GPT can do it, well, the NSA had GPT-4 level AI probably 5 years ago already. Basically I'm saying with the source code, but maybe now even with binaries, the NSA can find numerous exploits... They probably use 3 out of 100 they have at the "exploit bank"...

The software goes through pr reviews and QA testing and apple also have pair programming so it'd mean the whole dev department would have to be in on it which is unlikely. I imagine the NSA have an internal bounty they use to employ well known hackers, this way the exploit never gets exposed externally until someone picks it up like Kaspersky.

@@c5cha7 How many employees do you think they employ that can read IOCCC entries and figure out what's going on? Sure, they don't use C, but it's possible with most languages to obfuscate them in that way.

@@anon_y_mousse but they don't need to, they have unit tests and code reviews before the code even gets compiled?

But Kaspersky tells you they only found it at few high profile individuals. Why would they risk earlier-than-absolutely-necessary discovery by infecting indiscriminately, then inevitably hitting some very smart and curious Russians that'll blow your undercover work 1 month in, instead of the ACTUAL FOUR YEARS. In a word, no, spy agencies are usually very picky with who they infect. No idea why they went crazy with Kaspersky employees. I guess at least one of those employees holds the keys to some critical secret knowledge (world war, wmd level), and they don't know which employee it is, so they have to spy on them all...

@@carltonwilson2668 People blindly trust that any closed source software given to them was designed by monks.

Yeah that's a good idea. Simplest route to a safe phone i can think of is: - Look for an open-source android OS - Inspect the source code for backdoors - Disable and enable the specific features you want - Flash it to your phone, overwriting the bootloader, recovery image, kernel, etc, in the process I don't recommend this for everyone since this level of security is only really required for people in dangerous positions like being a high-tier trader, celebrity, government person, etc. You could still do it for fun though, so you can help others if they need it or if you accidentally become a high-value target yourself.

@@Walter_ I side with GPT-4 on this. Both choices are equally hackable by state sponsored hackers, and against lower level hackers, a cautious user would be equally protected. Would an open source android OS be more secure than latest closed source iOS? Will it be easier for an advanced hacker to find exploits in one of them? Use your knowledge of historical actual hacks of high profile individuals and what they could have done to prevent it. Whether an open-source Android OS is more secure than a closed-source iOS can depend on several factors, including how each system is maintained and updated, the security practices of the user, and the specific threat model the user faces. Historically, both Android and iOS have had vulnerabilities, and both have been the target of attacks. Android, being open-source, allows anyone to inspect its source code for security flaws. This transparency can lead to earlier detection and patching of vulnerabilities, making the system more secure. However, this also means that potential attackers can inspect the code for vulnerabilities, potentially making it easier to find and exploit them. Furthermore, because Android is more open, it allows users (and potentially malicious apps) more freedom to modify the system, which can introduce additional security risks. iOS, on the other hand, is closed-source, which means that only Apple and approved developers can inspect its source code. This makes it harder for potential attackers to find vulnerabilities, but also means that users and independent security researchers have to trust that Apple is doing a good job of maintaining security. Apple has a good track record in this regard, and iOS is generally considered to be secure. However, iOS has still been the target of successful attacks, and high-profile individuals have had their iPhones hacked. Many security experts would argue that the most important factor in securing a device is not the choice between Android and iOS, but rather how the device is used. Good security practices, such as keeping the device updated, only downloading apps from trusted sources, not clicking on suspicious links, and using strong, unique passwords, can significantly reduce the risk of being hacked. As of my knowledge cut-off in September 2021, one of the most famous hacks of a high-profile individual was the 2016 hack of John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Podesta fell victim to a phishing attack, which tricked him into entering his email password into a fake Google login page. This allowed the attackers to access his email account. This attack could have been prevented by using two-factor authentication, a security measure that requires a second form of verification in addition to a password. In this case, the choice of operating system (Android or iOS) would not have made a difference. There have also been targeted attacks against specific individuals that have exploited vulnerabilities in both Android and iOS. For example, in 2020, it was reported that sophisticated spyware developed by the Israeli company NSO Group was being used to target human rights activists and journalists. The spyware, known as Pegasus, could exploit vulnerabilities in both Android and iOS to gain full control of a device. These attacks are difficult to prevent because they exploit previously unknown vulnerabilities, known as zero-days, which have not yet been patched by the software developers. However, they are also very expensive to carry out, and are usually only used against high-value targets. In conclusion, there is no definitive answer to whether an open-source Android OS or a closed-source iOS is more secure. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and both have been the target of successful attacks. The most effective way to secure a device is often to follow good security practices, regardless of the operating system.

As though they aren't surveilling citizens of every country

there is no need to sully apples name. they are already one of the worst companies concerning trust. nobody thinks apple is a good guy and doesnt spy on their users or sell their data. ud have to be a looney to think that launching an attack against apple has anything on the line for either side.

Yes, that is what I would do if I were them. Have a trusted cleared guy install an extraordinarily subtle bug to be exploited. You have to assume many other countries are also trying to do the same thing at every major electronics vendor. I mean, why wouldn’t they?

The US government serves corporations owned by the top 1%. The laws exist for the mere appearances of protecting its citizens freedoms and rights. The NSA has been caught violating the fundamental constitutional rights of citizens, yet no action has been taken against them and even continue to do so. Apple and other big corporations will happily assist them as their interests are in perfect alignment.

USA before 2020 - There are no alieans , stop the conspiracy theories USA after 2020 - There are aliens

Do you know PRISM? If not, may search it (even if apple denies it (and the other companies, they are not allowed to talk about it))

it supports AND renders them. if you treat files, that you cant be sure about, as files, that dont need to have a preview/need a generated bild, you dont have the problem,

Funny how you think apple doesn't profit from working with the government. I prefer android a 100 times over the whole IOS mess. Android is open source , and that means a lot of experts and casual users will be checking the code and fixing the vulnerabilities and as a result it has very little serious security bugs. IOS is closed source , that means there will be sh*t ton of exploits all over it. Normal users won't be able to inspect the code and it's hard for them to reverse engineer the code while hackers wouldn't have a problem at all. When a hacker finds an exploit on IOS , if they keep it to themselves and not report it to apple, that means the exploit will be there for a LONG time and the hacker can do anything with it..

Yep. Plus Apple has repeatedly lied about patching major exploits its been made aware of for over a decade, that in practice, act as a “backdoor” or zero day exploit. Apple’s been pushed by cyber security research orgs, human rights orgs, and yes, even the non-Spook side of the US government to *patch that ish* - but cyber security firms like the Hacking Team, Fin Fisher, and yes, the Tony Blair owned NSO Group (founded in Israel under the IDF in 2008, sold to shell corp in San Francisco in 2012 - now NSO Group’s based in Jordan and CEOs are a former-British PM & his wife) fought back with money. Apple likes money, it’s a corporation. These tools have been used to spy on Congress - its not as simple as being for or against the American government. The NSA, initially a temporary war time institution under the State Dept & Pentagon, became a permanent program shortly after the CIA began in 1952 (just in time to do Cold War stuffs). Now it operates giving illegally collected data on American citizens (violation of 4th Amendment regardless of FISA courts, due to lack of transparency & rubber-stamping Judge appointments) to primarily the Dubbya created Dept of Homeland Security and the CIA. Neither is allowed to spy on American citizens… but no one can reform or control the CIA - modeled after British MI6, who convinced the rogue elements in the State Dept (i.e. the Nazi sympathizers working to undermine FDR at the heigh of WWII) that the OSS should be made a permanent fixture in “peace time,” but be exactly like them. See the movie: *The Good Shepard* - extremely underrated, but is the most honest and revealing film ever [publcily] released outlining exactly how the CIA came to be. It was panned by critics for reasons that can only be explained by attempts to suppress and censor the film. Anyone can see it was beyond Oscar worthy. Now, the bigger concern, quite frankly, are the institutions far bigger than the NSA, that the NSA was modeled after - primarily, the British *GCHQ* . All of Snowden’s disclosures on the GCHQ were forcibly destroyed by the founders of The Guardian, one of the two people entrusted with the only copies Snowden made, since he had to destroy his own before traveling outside of Hong Kong so they wouldn’t get into the wrong hands. The Guard then idiotically opted to just let grifter, and secret Children of God (Australian Nazi Youth cult made of mostly kidnapped blonde children and nurses working in maternity wards known as “Aunts” - the inspiration for the name used for the enforcers in The Handmaid’s Tale), Julian Assange, turn their news room into a zoo where he’d use the powerful information shared by altruistic Whistleblowers, into selectively outing “secrets” to exact revenge on a country he hated, but rode the coattails of enough legit activists to convince us for a good while that he somehow cared about “rescuing” our democracy. This was the op where he released hundreds of thousands of underacted diplomatic cables, one of several big scores he successfully coerced out of very vulnerable isolated Chelsea Manning (who only intended to whistleblow on the drone operations and that infamous incident she witnessed of Reuters journalists being targeted, but was convinced to go back and access specific databases approx 5 times until Assange got ~300,000 pages of classified documents). This opened up The Guardian to massive liability, lawsuits, and criminal threats by the British government - preventing them from reporting on the GCHQ findings, and “settling” out of court by agreeing to destroy the highly encrypted drive where Snowden’s entire archive lived. Can’t recall if it’s “Risk,” or a different documentary, but one of the Assange focused documentaries captures the moment The Guardian co-founders take a drill to the hard drive. And then, of course, there’s Russia’s own NSA - *SORM* …which the public knows far less about. Russian government likes to distract. All of these operations go against humanity, but I can’t suspend my disbelief enough to _ever_ hear from a Brit or a Russian about how evil the NSA is when they’re arguably running operations far more expansive, and better “utilized.” The issue with the NSA is the privatization by putting it in the hands of Private Contractors. Snowden was working as a contractor for Dell when he copied all that data off the servers, and researched Journalists to disclose to, after spending months researching and gauging who had the personality type that would willing to publish findings from it no matter what. Greenwald was actually brought in by Laura Portis. While many powerpoints outlined diff NSA programs, like XKEYSTORE, PRISM, etc - it collected too much data, too much noise, and greedy private contractors will never give the manpower needed to create dystopian databases reaching the level of effectiveness like the CCP has. Capitalism, in this way, stifled the NSA’s ability to be as powerful as the CIA wanted it to be. And once the whistle was blown by Snowden, they could no longer operate in the shadows and move freely, like the GCHQ & SORM, and the rest presently still do. GCHQ has ALL of the NSA’s data in real time, under the Atlantic agreement (whatever it was officially called) between the US & UK to “openly share” mass surveillance with each other. On the NSA’s end, this was a loophole to get around the laws banning it from wiretapping American citizens by funneling it thru British GCHQ. A pretty weak loophole that obviously wouldn’t hold up to legal scrutiny. The open sharing never ended. GCHQ could swallow the NSA in one tiny gulp. Real power is secret power. Hence why the FISA courts were quite powerful, until these literal secret courts were brought into the harsh light of day. Anyway, people need to start going back 10 years ago, and fully appreciating and examining the Snowden disclosures, the documentaries, the reports in The Guardian, and ignoring the red herring that was “WikiLeaks.” You’ll find it informs more about today, and and provides far more information than anything written in the last 5+ years. Russia’s SORM was in the Snowden leaks. Watch the Snowden Biopic for tons of Easter eggs and real world ish. Like the fact that the NSA was behind the infamous STUXNET operation… and when caught by the Iranians due to their own extreme incompetence (it could’ve otherwise secretly hid in their nuclear reactors never being detected… disrupting their nuclear weapons in the safest way possible should they ever use them, in the fallout of the horrible “Iranian Nuclear Deal”). In the film, right in front of Snowden, the head of that program said, “we’ll just blame it on the Israelis” in order to misdirect the blowback that could’ve thrown us into yet another war, or worse. Tangential, but important to take this further than Apple - a willing participant that’s own Privacy Policy states they will hand over your iCloud data with or without a warrant when they feel a compelling reason to give it, that they hold a copy of your decryption key on their servers, and that even when a warrant allows them to disclose your data was given to LE, they “may or may not disclose” it to you… prob for PR reasons. Seriously, everyone needs to read it. Its only 2.5 pages.

@@aaaaaa-hh8cq Exactly, except Apple has a very long track record of doing absolutely _nothing_ when zero day exploits are reported to them by top cyber security researchers and governments _repeatedly_ . Apple lied about patching the Pegasus exploit since it was first reported by Citizen Lab in 2012. 2016, Apple assured the public the next iOS 9 update patched it. It didn’t, obviously. That was some decade old Trojan Apple knew about and refused to fix this entire time. I’m with you on Android 100%. Switched over mid-2017 after yet another expensive iPhone repair, and have never looked back. I’m still on an iPad Pro, but I’ve been waiting and waiting for a worthy Android tablet to replace this junk. Not even the MacBook Pros are able to handle editing and professional software like they used to. Bought into the whole Apple ecosystem for a long time. No one even considers how much money Android users save not having to buy the insanely overpriced App Store apps that are virtually all paywalled these days… especially using the subscription model. Plus, the minute your iPhone’s no longer receiving software support (aka iOS updates), it’s just a matter of time before apps get removed off your device the moment the developers stop supporting your iOS version. I’ve lost so much crucial app data I can never ever recover or get back because of it. Android, I can just access the entire file system, and easily backup anything I want to Drive… or _any_ cloud service of my choosing… except for iCloud Drive because they refuse to make it compatible on Android. So for a while now, I’ve been forced to pay for both cloud services…
