Abadali be-software ye-Pegasus, iQela le-NSO, bafumene isimangalo esivela ku-Apple enenjongo yokurhoxisa ukusetyenziswa kwale software kunye nayo nayiphi na enye inkampani kwizixhobo zakho. Kule meko, isimangalo esifakwe yi-Apple sigxile ekwenziweni ngokungasebenziyo kwazo zonke iindlela zosetyenziso lwalo naluphi na uhlobo lwesoftware evela kule nkampani kuyo nayiphi na isoftware yeApple, isixhobo okanye inkonzo.
Iindaba zaqhambuka emva kwexesha elinzima kule software ebizwa ngokuba yiPegasus apho ezinye iingxaki zabucala zaye zafunyanwa. Ngaloo ndlela Usekela mongameli we-Apple yobunjineli besoftware uCraig Federighi, Ukhankanye "abadlali abaxhaswa ngurhulumente" abaninzi abangabaxhasi abaphambili beQela le-NSO, abachitha imali eninzi ngolu hlobo lokucupha okanye iteknoloji yokuhlola ngaphandle kwesaziso sangaphambili.
I-Apple ibeka iziqhoboshi kolu hlobo lwesoftware kunye nesimangalo
Ngaphandle kokungathandabuzeki oku kuya kutshintsha imithetho yomdlalo kunye neqela le-NSO kwaye kuya kuxhomekeka kwinto umgwebi ogqiba ukugweba ngayo kulo mbandela, kodwa ingxabano enzima ngokwenene kwaye inzima kulindeleke ukuba i-Cupertino iqine. Ingxaki kukuba "ayiluhlaselo" kubo bonke abasebenzisi be-iOS, Luhlaselo lwabambalwa kodwa iApple ayizimiselanga ukuyinyamezela:
Ngelixa ezi zoyikiso ze-cybersecurity zichaphazela kuphela inani elincinci labathengi bethu, siluthatha njengento ebaluleke kakhulu naluphi na uhlaselo olunjalo kwaye sihlala sisebenzela ukuqinisa ukhuseleko kunye nokhuseleko lwabucala kwi-iOS, eyona nto ikugcina ukhuselekile kubo bonke abasebenzisi bethu.
Ingxelo esemthethweni ye-Apple kuyo Kwiwebhu Kucacile ekuchazeni uhlaselo ukuba abanye abasebenzisi bayo baye babandezeleka kwaye yiyo loo nto iya kusebenzisa onke amandla ayo asemthethweni ukuyimisa. I-Apple ikwabonisa ukuba ayingobasebenzisi be-iOS kuphela abachaphazelekayo, Abo bakwamanye amaqonga afana ne-Android nabo babandezeleka ngenxa yeziphumo zale spyware.
