With the recent reports around alleged targeting of individuals using the Israel-made Pegasus spyware, Amnesty International has dropped a major bombshell. It claims that even iPhones running on latest software may be susceptible to intrusion through a zero-click iMessage vulnerability. It suggests that Android and iPhone devices have been targeted using the Pegasus software from July 2014, and even currently in July 2021. The report lists several different variants of Pegasus used over the years. It goes on to claim that Pegasus spyware is currently being installed on iPhones and iPads running iOS 14.3, iOS 14.4 and iOS 14.6 using a zero-click iMessage exploit.
