why is it so hard to reduce zero-click penetration of mobile phones?

241 views

I can understand how someone could find a zero-click attack, but aren’t these usually uncovered and patched fairly quickly? But the Pegasus tool has appeared to work consistently for months. Why can’t Apple, Google, Samsung et al figure this out?

They did fix it. For iOS, you would need a version earlier than 14.7 for Pegasus to work, and it’s on 16 something right now.

The reason they’re difficult to patch is because you would need to know what vulnerability they’re using, and for the groups designing malware like that, the vulnerabilities are tightly guarded secrets.
