Sinezindaba futhi mayelana noPegasus, ithuluzi lenkampani yakwa-Israyeli i-NSO lokho esidlangalaleni futhi ngaphandle kokujeziswa kucatshangelwa ukuthi kutholwa ama-smartphone ethu ngokungemthetho, kepha yebo, ukuthengisa nje idatha yethu kuhulumeni okhokha kakhulu.
Ngokuya nge-Financial Times, i-NSO Group Technologies iyakuqinisekisa lokho ingafinyelela cishe noma iyiphi insizakalo yokugcina idatha yamafu, kufaka phakathi i-Apple's. Uyithola kanjani? Sikuchazela ngezansi.
Isebenza kanjani iPegasus
Into yokuqala edingekayo ukuthi iPegasus ifakwe kudivayisi yakho. Akukhona ukufinyelela komhlaba wonke kumaseva ahlaselwe, kepha kufanele kufinyelelwe kusuka kudivayisi yomuntu oqondisiwe, okuyi kudinga ukufakwa kwe-spyware. Le software inesibopho sokuthola iziqinisekiso kusuka kudivayisi futhi izithumele kuseva yabaduni.
Lapho sebenemininingwane yokufinyelela, abaduni bayayinakekela shintsha idivayisi yakho, kufaka phakathi indawo yayo, nokwenza sengathi yi-smartphone yakho efinyelela i-iCloud, i-Facebook noma enye insizakalo. Kubukeka sengathi ngale ndlela ikwazi ukugwema ukutholwa futhi icelwe, isibonelo, isici esiphindwe kabili esicela kithi lapho sifuna ukufaka i-iCloud ngaphandle kwe-smartphone yethu.
Yini esingayenza ukuyivimba ukuthi ingasitheleleli
Asazi indlela uPegasus ayisebenzisayo ukuthelela amadivayisi ethu. Kungasizakala ngembobo yokuphepha ezinhlelweni ezisebenzayo ukuze ngomyalezo olula noma nge-imeyili ikwazi ukufinyelela kudivayisi yethu, lapho kungenziwa okuncane. Kepha ingasebenzisa izinhlelo zokusebenza ezingekho emthethweni, izitifiketi ezivela kwimvelaphi engabazisayo… Yingakho sihlala siphikelela ukuthi ungafaki izinhlelo zokusebenza ezingaveli ezitolo ezisemthethweni.
Uma sesithelelekile okuwukuphela kwekhambi esisele nalo ukuthi buyisela idivayisi futhi ushintshe iphasiwedi yakho ibe yi-iCloud, Facebook kanye nanoma iyiphi enye insizakalo esifuna ukuyivikela. Ngale ndlela, ikhodi yokungena uPegasus anayo ngeke isasebenza, futhi ngaphandle kokuthi isiphinde isithelele, ngeke uze ukwazi ukufinyelela kumasevisi ethu.
Uthini u-Apple ngalokhu?
Izitatimende zika-Apple maqondana nalolu daba zicace bha futhi empeleni abaqinisekisi noma baphike noma yini.
Sineplatifomu ephephe kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Kungaba namathuluzi avumela ukuhlaselwa ukuthi kwenziwe kwinani elincane lamadivayisi, kepha awalusizo ekuhlaselweni okukhulu okubhekiswe kubasebenzisi bethu.
Ekungabikho kwezinye izitatimende ezibanzi eziqinisekisa ukuthi kuliqiniso yini ukuthi amadivayisi akho ayazwela kulokhu kuhlaselwa, futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, ngenkathi esalinde ukuthi bathole isisombululo salolu hlobo lwe-malware, ukuphela kwento esingayenza yilokho ngaphambi thina sikhombisa: xwaya nganoma yisiphi isicelo esingaveli ku-App Store noma yisiphi isitifiketi esicelwe ukuba sisifake ku-terminal yethu.
Izaphulamthetho zomphakathi futhi zingajeziswa
Ingxenye eyopha kakhulu kunayo yonke le nkinga ukuthi inkampani izishaya esidlangalaleni ngokufaka ngokungemthetho, ngaphandle kwemvume yomsebenzisi, isoftware enobungozi ebhekele ukuqoqa amakhodi okufinyelela ezinsizakalweni ngenhloso yokukopisha imininingwane yomuntu futhi iyithengise kumbhida ohamba phambili . Kepha "uthembisa" ukuthi uthengisela ohulumeni kuphela, ukujeziswa kwabo kuphelele.
Kuze kube nini ubumfihlo babasebenzisi bungephulwa kabi kangaka ngokuvumela bonke ohulumeni? Kuyaphazamisa ukuthi ubuchwepheshe obukhulu kufanele buvikele ubumfihlo bezakhamizi ekuhlaselweni nguhulumeni yentando yeningi (noma cha).
