There is this false popular belief that products Manzana They are exempt from the risk of contracting a computer virus. This idea was established in the old days where the PC was the main victim of these kinds of threats. But the reality is that even the iPhone is exposed, as is the case with TriangleDBa very delicate spyware.
A few days ago we analyzed the case of SpyNotea dangerous malware that records calls, takes screenshots, grants itself write and review permissions for practically any process on the Smartphone and is practically impossible to eliminate unless some extreme measures are taken.
But even in such a situation, it would be a less dangerous software than the one we would share with you today, since its threat is even less intrusive than that of TriangleDB. A program that runs on the platform iOS and for this reason it is much more complicated to dismantle.
Here we share all the basic details that you should know about this serious danger that any iPhone owner faces.
TriangleDB the most powerful spyware that has ever existed against the Apple iPhone
According to a recent publication by Kaspersky Secure ListTriangleDB is iPhone spyware that has been operating discreetly for years, but has only now been fully exposed.
This spyware would infiltrate iOS devices using a vulnerability in the iMessages app, entering invisible messages with unauthorized files.
So when the spyware is installed silently, the attacker would have access to open the phone’s microphone, activate the camera, review the stored photographs, listen to calls made and even follow the GPS location of the device.
Kaspersky warns that even despite the security patches installed by Apple, the TriangleDB spyware would not have completely stopped its spread.
The company has discovered that it can record up to three hours of audio through the Audio Queue API, compressing everything with the Speex codec, so the weight used and battery consumed would be barely noticeable.
TriangleDB could even run on older versions of iOS, from 8.0 onwards. So iPhones from 2015 or earlier are even exposed.
The biggest fear for now is that this spyware also has a version for macOS in development. But there is little that can be done against him.
