Security researchers at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab warned on its blog on Tuesday that a ""zero-click"" exploit was used to install spyware into the phones of journalists, lawyers, and activists with the help of NSO Group's Pegasus spyware. A zero-click install is alarming and pretty terrifying because the target doesn't have to do anything to be infected.
The spyware is reportedly able to steal passwords and data, as well as activate a phone's camera and microphone. Apple has worked around the clock to provide a fix for this invasive security breach and strongly advices to update to iOS 14.8, macOS Big Sur 11.6, and watchOS 7.6.2 as soon as you're able to.
