Yeyiphi idatha ebibiwe kwi-iPhone kaPedro Sánchez?
Njengoko imithombo esemthethweni evela kuRhulumente waseSpain icacisile, i-iPhone kaMongameli yosulelwe yinkqubo eyaziwayo ye-Pegasus spy, kwaye Ngo-2021, i-2,6 GB yolwazi yabiwa, kubandakanywa namaxwebhu amalunga ne-15.000 kunye neefoto ezimalunga ne-1.000. Kwilinge lesibini kwangaloo nyaka ka-2021, uMongameli waseSpeyin wayejolise kubusela obutsha, ngeli xesha ebiza kuphela i-130 MB yedatha, mhlawumbi ngenxa yokuba amaqela karhulumente aphethe ukhuseleko lwedijithali lukaRhulumente sele eyazi izibakala kunye noMnu. UPedro Sánchez uye wasebenzisa i-iPhone yakhe ngokuhambelana ngakumbi, ngokuhambelana nesikhundla sakhe.
Eyona nto ixhalabisayo kukuba malunga ne-15.000 yamaxwebhu abiwe, kuba i-iPhone ihlela kuphela ezo zenziwe kusetyenziswa iiprosesa zamagama okanye kwifomathi yePDF. Yonke into ibonisa ukuba oyena mthombo wedatha sisicelo sokuthumela umyalezo ngoko nangoko ku-WhatsApp, nangona imithombo karhulumente esemthethweni ingakhupheli phandle ukuba baye bafumana ukuvuza kwabafowunelwa okanye iSMS.
Inyani ecebisa ukuba i-WhatsApp ibe ngowona mthombo wedatha kukuba uMargarita Robles, uMphathiswa wezoKhuselo, akasebenzisi isicelo sokuthumela imiyalezo kwangoko esiphethwe nguFacebook, kwaye ke ngoko, kwimeko yakhe bakwazile kuphela ukuba i-9 MB yedatha, isixa esincinci kakhulu kuneso sikaMongameli.

Kwimeko ye-WhatsApp, umzekelo, i-spyware ingena kwisixhobo ngokufowuna ngesicelo, Ngapha koko, akuyomfuneko nokuba umsebenzisi athathe umnxeba, nto leyo ecaphukisayo ngokwemigaqo yokhuseleko kunye nemfihlo.
I-Pegasus ithatha ithuba lokuziphendukela kwayo rhoqo kunye nokukhula. Nje ukuba isixhobo sosulelekile, abahlaseli bathatha ulawulo olukude kwii-terminals kwaye bafumane lonke ulwazi oluyimfuneko, enyanisweni banokurekhoda kunye nokucoca iifowuni, njengoko kwenzeka kuJeff Bezzos, oyena mntu usisityebi emhlabeni kunye nomnini we-Amazon.

Ngaba i-iPhone ikhuselekile ngokuchasene nePegasus?
Njengoko uyazi, uRhulumente waseSpain uthatha isigqibo sokuhlaziya rhoqo uluhlu lwezixhobo zobuchwepheshe kunye Amalungu eNkongolo yamaSekela onke asebenzisa ii-iPhones, ii-iPads kunye neeMacs ngoncedo lwabo bonke abarhafi.
Nangona ezi ndaba zithandwa kakhulu kuba zibandakanya i-iPhone, Inyani kukuba i-iPhone ayikhuselekanga ngakumbi kunezinye izixhobo ngokwePegasus, Akunjalo nabanye abameli bangaphandle, abafumana inzuzo yokhuseleko kwi-iPhone xa kuthelekiswa ne-Android. Okwangoku, i-Pegasus isebenzisa iindlela ezahlukeneyo zokufikelela ezinje nge-phishing, inethiwekhi ye-WiFi engangqinisiswanga okanye ubuthathaka be-WhatsApp, into i-Apple engenako ukulwa nayo ngenkqubo yayo yokusebenza.
Kwangokunjalo U-Emmanuel Macron, uMongameli weRiphabhlikhi yaseFransi, wayejolise kwi-spyware ye-Pegasus ngexesha 2017 ngefowuni yakhe yobuqu, enye iPhone. Impikiswano engakumbi yayiziimeko zikaCecilio Pineda kunye noJamal Khashoggi, iintatheli ezinezixhobo ezosulelwe yiPegasus kwaye emva koko zasweleka phantsi kweemeko ezingaqhelekanga.
Abemi abaqhelekileyo abaluthathi lula ngokwaneleyo ukhuseleko lwezixhobo zethu eziphathwayo, oko kuyabonakala, nangona kunjalo, kulindeleke ukuba amagosa aphezulu kunye namaqumrhu amele ilizwe lethu abeke umzamo omncinci wokukhusela ubumfihlo babo ngenxa yobuntununtunu bolwazi. bayayiphatha.
