iVerify Uncovers Evidence of Zero-Click Mobile Exploitation in the U.S.


Examining a previously unknown iMessage vulnerability with possible exploitation in the US and EU

Subsequent forensic examination of several of these devices ultimately revealed a previously unknown vulnerability in the “imagent” process which, owing to its relative position in the operating system and functionality, would provide attackers a primitive for further exploitation. Likewise, one device demonstrated behavior frequently associated with successful exploitation, specifically the creation and deletion of iMessage attachments in bulk within a matter of seconds on several occasions after an anomalous crash. Though early days, these findings have been vetted by multiple, independent third parties, including iOS security experts, such as Patrick Wardle from the Objective-By-The-Sea foundation who have confidence in our conclusion that mobile compromise is real, not academic or hypothetical, and it's happening here in the United States.
