Google has made a claim that is surprising for crores of iPhone users around the world. Actually, Google's security researchers have found that some malicious websites have been targeting iPhone users for quite some time. These websites are taking advantage of Apple's flaws.
On one hand, Apple has announced a new iPhone launch date and on the other hand, Google's researchers have certainly made iPhone users in the know by making this big disclosure. Google's researcher has even said that such an attack can steal iPhone users' login credentials, banking passwords and even sensitive information.
Ian Beer, on behalf of Google Project Zero, wrote in the blog, "There was no discrimination in the target here, just visiting a hacked website is like an attack on your device and if it is successful then the monitoring tools in your smartphone Can also be added '.
Ian Beer is a member of Google's task force. Project Zero is a Google project under which new security flaws are discovered.
The surprising thing is that Google's research team has found five different iPhone exploration chains that affect iOS 10 to iOS 12. Google has said that it also shows that a group has been trying to hack iPhone users for at least two years.
Security researchers claim that in such an attack, different flaws of the Apple iPhone have been targeted. By doing this, hackers take a sensitive part of the operating system of the iPhone under their control and access the user's data by installing the malware in them.
Significantly, after such an attack, users may have to face serious consequences. These include everything from password theft, banking information, location and other files that hackers can access and cause great harm to iPhone users.
Google's team told Apple about this this year and after that the company also released a patch for it. If you also have an iPhone, then download and install the new update.
Until the time of writing the news, Apple has not released any statement on this development.
