"In security advisories posted on its website, Apple confirmed it fixed the two zero-day vulnerabilities, which “may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals on iOS.”
The bugs are considered zero days because they were unknown to Apple as they were being exploited.
It’s not yet known who is behind the attacks or how many Apple customers were targeted, or if any were successfully compromised. A spokesperson for Apple did not return TechCrunch’s inquiry.
Apple credited the discovery of one of the two bugs to security researchers working at Google’s Threat Analysis Group, which investigates government-backed cyberattacks. This may indicate that the attacks targeting Apple customers were launched or coordinated by a nation state or government agency. Some government-backed cyberattacks are known to involve the use of remotely planted spyware and other phone-unlocking devices."
