<p>Apple is facing a new security threat, thanks to developments in the spyware/surveillance tool sold by the Israeli firm NSO Group. Via the Financial Times (https://www.ft.com/content/95b91412-a946-11e9-b6ee-3cdf3174eb89), the Pegasus phone software now not only harvests data from the user’s onboard storage, but also all communications with the connected cloud.</p>
<p>The vulnerability purportedly affects the iPhone and Apple’s iCloud as well as Google Android phones, and even third-party apps installed on the phone that communicate over “encrypted and secure” connections.</p>
