IProject Zero, ithimba lakwaGoogle elizinikele ngokukhethekile ekutholeni amaphutha ezokuphepha ezinhlelweni ezikhona zokusebenza, lembule kulezi zinsuku okunye kokuhlasela okukhulu okutholwe yi-iOS selokhu yadalwa. Kufike ekwephuleni ezinhlanu kwezokuphepha esikhathini esiyiminyaka emibili Bebelokhu besizakala ukufaka ispyware ku-iPhone ne-iPad yethu.
Yini la maphutha ezokuphepha? Iyiphi idatha ovezwe kuyo? Yimaphi amadivayisi athintekile? Basebenza kanjani? Sizokuchazela yonke imininingwane, ngaphandle kobuzalwane noma izinhlekelele., nangolimi oluzoqondwa yiwo wonke umuntu ngaphandle kwezinkinga.
Amaphutha amahlanu okuphepha
Kuyini ukwephulwa kwezokuphepha? Izinhlelo zokusebenza aziphelele, alukho uhlelo olungenakulinganiswa futhi alusoze lwenzeka. Kukhona kuphela izinhlelo ezivikeleke kakhulu kunezinye ngoba zenza izinto zibe nzima kakhulu kubaduni, kepha uma bethanda, bayohlala bethola amaphutha ezokuphepha abangazisebenzisa. La maphutha okuphepha "yimigodi" lapho abaduni bengangena khona ohlelweni lwethu nokwenza izinto ezingavunyelwe, njengokufaka i-spyware.
Noma iyiphi isoftware esiyitholayo ayinakufakwa kwi-iPhone noma i-iPad yethu, kuphela leyo eku-App Store, futhi leyo Apple iyabuyekeza. Ngisho nesoftware eku-App Store futhi esingayifaka, inemikhawulo futhi kunemisebenzi engafinyeleli kuyo, kulokho kusekelwe ukuphepha i-Apple enikeza abasebenzisi bayo. Kepha njengoba sishilo, ayikho isoftware ephelele futhi kwesinye isikhathi kuvela “izimbobo” lapho izinhlelo ezinonya zingashibilika khona. Lezi ziphutha ezinhlanu zokuphepha esikhuluma ngazo namuhla zivumele amanye amakhasi e-web adalwe ngabaduni ukufaka i-spyware kumadivayisi wethu we-iOS ngaphandle kokwazi kwethu, okusobala ukuthi kudlula zonke izindlela zokuphepha ze-Apple.
Yimaphi amakhasi ewebhu? Azikashicilelwa, kepha ngokwemininingwane ebilokhu ivela kwinethiwekhi, lawa ngamakhasi anemibono yezepolitiki echazwe kahle futhi eyenzelwe ngokucacile ukuthi amaqembu athile abantu afinyelele kuwo, ngakho-ke kusolwa ukuthi ngemuva kwalokhu kuhlaselwa kuzoba nombuso (noma eziningana) ukuthi ababekufuna kwakuwukuhlola amaqembu athile abantu bawo. Bathole yiphi idatha? Izingcingo, imiyalezo, i-WhatsApp, iTelegram, amakhasi e-web, indawo ... imininingwane ebaluleke kakhulu futhi abebezokhokha ngayo izizumbulu zemali.
Izimbungulu ezintathu besezivele zilungisiwe
IProject Zero yazise i-Apple ngala maphutha amahlanu ezokuphepha ngoFebhuwari 2019, futhi ngaleso sikhathi amathathu kulawo maphutha ayeselungisiwe ngezibuyekezo ezihambisanayo ezazikhishwa yi-Apple ngaleso sikhathi. Izimbungulu ezimbili ebezingalungisiwe, ngoba i-Apple ibingazi kuze kube yilapho iProject Zero ibakhombisa, kuthathe isonto ukuzixazulula ngokuvuselelwa ku-iOS 12.1.4. Lokho okungukuthi, ngokungafani nalokho okushicilelwe kwabezindaba abaningi, bekungekapheli iminyaka emibili i-iPhone yethu ivezwe kulokhu kuhlaselwa, ngoba i-Apple ibifaka izimbungulu njengoba izithola.
Isikhathi eside kunazo zonke i-bug ebesisebenza besingaphansi kwezinyanga eziyi-10 ("Chain 3"), zonke ezinye izimbungulu zivumelana nezikhathi ezimfushane kunalokho ngenxa yezibuyekezo ezazisungulwa yi-Apple, njengoba ubona kugrafu engaphezulu kwalezi zigaba futhi ekhombisa izinsuku nezinguqulo ezixazulula amaphutha ezokuphepha.
Isixazululo: njalo uvuselele enguqulweni yakamuva
Ngeke sikhathale ukuyiphinda yize abaningi benqaba ukuyamukela: ukuba nohlelo olusebenzayo oluyisekelayo ngezibuyekezo ezenzeka kaningi nezinde kuyindlela engcono yokuqinisekisa ukuphepha okuphelele okungenzeka kube khona. Kubalulekile ukuthi isikhathi sokuphendula sibe sincane, ukuthi ukuvuselelwa okuxazulula inkinga kutholakale ngokushesha okukhulu, nokuthi kufinyelele kumadivayisi amaningi ngangokunokwenzeka. Uhlelo lokusebenza olungangeneki alukho, kepha kufanele uzame ukuhlala useduze ngangokunokwenzeka ukuthi ungakwazi kulowo mgomo ongafinyeleleki.
