Izikhulu zezombangazwe eSpain zinovalo, kwabangaphezu kwamashumi amahlanu izinhloli zeNational Intelligence Center (CNI), okuhlanganisa nosopolitiki abamele ukuzimela kanye nezikhulu eziphezulu zezobulungiswa, uMongameli waseSpain, uPedro Sánchez, manje ujoyina , futhi omunye woNgqongqoshe bayo, uMargarita Robles.
Abaduni bantshontshe okungenani u-2,6 GB wedatha ku-iPhone kaPedro Sánchez, phakathi nonyaka ka-2021, nakuba ukuzwela kwedatha eyebiwe kungaziwa. Ukubuyisela emuva okunzima ezinkampanini eziphethe ukuphepha kwedijithali kuHulumeni wase-Spain, ngisho naku-Apple njengomkhiqizi wamadivayisi.
Iyiphi idatha eyebiwe ku-iPhone ka-Pedro Sánchez?
Ngokusho kwemithombo esemthethweni evela kuHulumeni waseSpain, i-iPhone kaMongameli yangenwa uhlelo oludumile lwe-Pegasus espionage, futhi ngo-2021 yebiwa imininingwane engu-2,6 GB, okuhlanganisa nemibhalo engaba ngu-15.000 kanye nezithombe ezingaba ngu-1.000. Emzamweni wesibili ngawo lowo nyaka ka-2021, uMongameli waseSpain waba yindaba yokugetshengwa okusha, kulokhu kwakhokhiswa i-130 MB kuphela yedatha, mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuthi amaqembu kahulumeni aphethe ukuphepha kwedijithali kaHulumeni ayesewazi amaqiniso. futhi uMnu Pedro Sánchez waqhubeka nokunikeza ukusetshenziswa okungaguquki, ngokuhambisana nesikhundla sakhe, ku-iPhone yakhe.
Okukhathaza kakhulu ukuthi amadokhumenti angaba ngu-15.000 antshontshiwe, njengoba i-iPhone ihlukanisa kuphela lezo ezenziwe kusetshenziswa ama-word processors noma ngefomethi ye-PDF. Yonke into ikhomba ukuthi umthombo omkhulu wedatha wuhlelo lwe-WhatsApp lokuthumela imiyalezo esheshayo, nakuba imithombo esemthethweni kahulumeni ingakhiphi ukuthi abathintwayo noma ama-SMS nawo aputshuziwe.
Iqiniso eliphakamisa ukuthi i-WhatsApp ibe umthombo oyinhloko wedatha ukuthi uMargarita Robles, uNgqongqoshe Wezokuvikela, akasebenzisi uhlelo lokusebenza lokuthumela imiyalezo esheshayo oluphethwe yi-Facebook, ngakho-ke, esimweni sakhe bakwazi kuphela ukukhipha u-9 MB wedatha, inani eliphansi kakhulu kunelikaMongameli.
Bamgqeke kanjani uMengameli waseSpain?
I-Pegasus iyithuluzi le-spyware eliphethe lokhu kuputshuka kwedatha noma ukugebenga okuyisisulu sakhe sokugcina kwakunguMongameli. Yethulwe ngo-2016 yi-NSO Group, inkampani yakwa-Israel Igolide lenziwa ngokuthengiswa nokutholakala kwale software, (ngombono) yayitholakala kohulumeni kuphela.
Imfihlo izungeza iPegasus, isikhombimsebenzisi sayo kanye nemininingwane yezindlela zayo zokuhlasela akwaziwa, nokho, ngokusho kwe-NSO Group, uPegasus udinga inombolo yocingo kuphela futhi uzobe ephethe ukuhlasela njalo, engasebenzisi nje kuphela ubungozi. wezinhlelo zokusebenza ezitholakalayo emakethe, ezihlasela i-iOS noma i-Android ngokusobala, kodwa futhi Iphinde igxile eminyango engase ivulwe izinhlelo zokusebenza ezahlukene ezifakwe ku-smartphone, njenge-WhatsApp.
Indlela evame kakhulu yokungena ku-Pegasus kumadivayisi eselula ukusebenzisa ngokunenzuzo i-SMS ehlukile ngemodeli ubugebengu bokweba imininingwane ebucayingenkathi I-iMessage ne-WhatsApp nazo zihlushwa ubungozi obuningi.
Endabeni ye-WhatsApp, isibonelo, i-spyware ingena kudivayisi ngocingo ngohlelo lokusebenza, empeleni, akudingekile nakancane ukuthi umsebenzisi abambe ucingo, okuwukucasuka kwangempela mayelana nokuphepha nobumfihlo.
I-Pegasus isebenzisa ngokunenzuzo ukuziphendukela kwayo njalo nokukhula. Uma idivayisi isingenwe yileli gciwane, abahlaseli bathatha isilawuli kude samatheminali futhi bathole lonke ulwazi oludingekayo, empeleni bangaqopha futhi bahlunge izingcingo, njengoba kwenzeka kuJeff Bezzos, indoda ecebe kakhulu emhlabeni nomnikazi we-Amazon.
Ngokusho kwe-NSO Group, leli thuluzi litholakala kuphela kohulumeni, naphezu kwalokhu, imithombo esemthethweni ibonisa ukuthi ukutheleleka okuphethwe uPedro Sánchez kungenxa ye-ejenti yangaphandle.
Senza ithuluzi lethu litholakale kohulumeni ukuze sigweme ukuhlasela kwamaphekula, sihlakaze amanethiwekhi okushushumbisa izingane, ucansi kanye nokushushumbiswa kwezidakamizwa, sithole izingane ezilahlekile nezithunjiwe, sithole abasindile abavaleleke ngaphansi kwezakhiwo eziwile futhi sivikele indawo yezindiza ekungeneni okuphazamisayo kwama-drones ayingozi.
Kodwa-ke, kukhona abangama-63 kanye nobuntu obuhlukile phakathi kosopolitiki namajaji abahlola uPegasus eSpain ngonyaka ka-2021.
Ingabe i-iPhone iphephe kakhudlwana uma kuqhathaniswa ne-Pegasus?
Njengoba wazi kahle, uHulumeni waseSpain unquma ukuvuselela njalo uhla lwayo lwemishini yezobuchwepheshe kanye amalungu eNgqungquthela Yamasekela wonke asebenzisa i-iPhone, i-iPad ne-Mac ngezilokotho zabo bonke abanikelayo.
Nakuba lezi zindaba ziye zathandwa ikakhulukazi ngokuba ne-iPhone ehilelekile, iqiniso liwukuthi i-iPhone ayivikelekile kakhulu kunamanye amadivayisi ngokwe-Pegasus, Lokhu akunjalo ngabo bonke abanye abenzeli bangaphandle, abathola ukuphepha okungeziwe ku-iPhone uma kuqhathaniswa ne-Android. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, i-Pegasus isebenzisa izindlela ezihlukahlukene zokufinyelela ezifana nobugebengu bokweba imininingwane ebucayi, amanethiwekhi e-WiFi angaqinisekisiwe noma ubungozi be-WhatsApp, into i-Apple engakwazi ukulwa nayo ngohlelo lwayo lokusebenza.
Kuyafana U-Emmanuel Macron, uMongameli weRiphabhulikhi yaseFrance, wayeqondiswe yi-Pegasus spyware phakathi nonyaka ka-2017 ngocingo lwakhe lomuntu siqu, enye i-iPhone. Okwabe kunempikiswano enkulu ngamacala ka-Cecilio Pineda kanye no-Jamal Khashoggi, izintatheli ezazinegciwane le-Pegasus futhi kamuva zashona ngaphansi kwezimo ezingaqondakali.
Izakhamuzi ezivamile azikuthathi ngokungathi sína ngokwanele ukuphepha kwemishini yethu ephathwayo, lokho kuwubufakazi, nokho-ke, kwethenjwa ukuthi izikhulu eziphezulu nezinhlaka ezimele izwe lethu zenza umzamo owengeziwe wokuvikela ubumfihlo bazo uma kubhekwa ukuzwela kwe ulwazi abaluphathayo. Nokho, lokhu akubonakali kwenzeka, futhi ukufinyelela ifoni Pedro Sánchez noma Jeff Bezos akunzima ukwedlula nokugenca iPhone umakhelwane wakho Paco.
Nginelukuluku lokwazi ngempela mayelana nokugetshengwa kukaPedro Sánchez... Yiziphi izitika ezithandwa ngumongameli ku-WhatsApp?
