Apple has released iOS 9.3.5 update to all iPhone’s and iPad’s today. They have addressed 3 critical security bug fixes with the release of iOS 9.3.5 that allows Government Agencies to spy on any target users. The security flaw allowed hackers to gain control of the iPhone and let hackers listen to phone calls, record sounds using iPhone’s microphone, retrieve passwords, read emails and trace the location without users knowledge.
These vulnerabilities initially sold to NSO Group, an Israeli outfit that sells software to track targets invisibly. NSO Group’s Spokesperson claims that the company sells these exploits, only to authorized governmental agencies and has strict control laws and regulations. They also claim that these exploits are used only for prevention and investigation of crimes.
