Apple recently released a critical security update for iOS 16, addressing a highly concerning vulnerability that could potentially allow hackers to gain control over iPhones and iPads without any user interaction. This exploit, known as “Blastpass,” is classified as a “zero-click, zero-day” attack, enabling attackers to deploy NSO Group’s notorious Pegasus spyware. This malicious software can grant the attacker access to various device functions, such as reading text messages, eavesdropping on calls, exfiltrating and sharing images, and tracking the device’s location.
