Apple released a critical iOS update today to fix an exploit that allowed malware to be installed on an iPhone with a single tap.
A report from Vice reveals the details of the exploit used to target Emirati human rights activist Ahmed Mansoor. Mansoor received a suspicious text that read, “New secrets about torture of Emiratis in state prisons” and included a link.
Instead of clicking on the link, though, Mansoor forwarded the message to Citizen Lab, a Toronto-based digital rights watchdog.
