    depends on the chain in question. some used iMessage as a way in, but (at least in the case i'm thinking of rn) it was only used to trigger an image parsing bug. in others, sms was used to trick someone into clicking a link, exploiting a bug in JavaScriptCore.

    moi: "not talking about like NSO group RCEs 'n shit"

    tu: "how do you think pegasus works"

    you could have at least picked a different cyberwarfare company...

    by that logic, every OS under the sun has massive backdoors. bugs exist, man. my point was that for the average person, a fully-patched ithing is going to be among the more secure options.
