Predator spyware uses stealthy trick to disable iOS recording alerts(without triggering the green or orange status bar dots)

  This is interesting and the article makes this very clear up front but the title is a little clickbait-y, because this requires a fully compromised device. I think it should be fairly obvious that if your device is fully compromised that built in safeguards are not reliable.

    Yeah it feels weird to base the article around the privacy dots, but I suppose this may be an article for a more targeted audience.

      this may be an article for a more targeted audience. Too bad we’re not talking about red dots, but green or orange.

      Oh, fuck your profile pic so fucking hard, you bastard.

      For the more reasonable part of my comment: I think that basing the article around the privacy dots is either meant to scare-bait, or reduce complacency in iOS users who say that “I know my phone is safe because it tells me when it’s recording me.”

  Pretty on the nose that the Israeli spyware company named their spyware after what we call people who sexually assault children.

  Everytime I see stuff like this I’m thankful most of my devices (hopefully all one day) either have cameras/microphones that have hardware kill switches (HKS), or can be unplugged from the device
