How to remove iMessage from Mac OS X and iOS

A critical API vulnerability in Apple’s iOS and Mac OS X platform allows attackers to remotely hack into devices and steal users’ personal data. Counterintuitively, the attack with such potentially devastating outcomes is easy to pull off. All it takes is send a targeted user an image in TIFF format over the iMessage instant messaging app. Once the recipient opens it, a threat actor gets access to the gadget without any conspicuous signs of the compromise.
