Today, CISA ordered federal agencies to patch recently patched security vulnerabilities exploited as zero-days to deploy Triangulation spyware on iPhones via iMessage zero-click exploits.
The attacks started in 2019 and are still ongoing, according to the company, and they use iMessage zero-click exploits that exploit the now-patched iOS zero-day bugs.
iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone SE, iPad Air 2, iPad mini, and iPod touch Macs running macOS Big Sur, Monterey, and Ventura.
While BOD 22-01 primarily focuses on U.S. federal agencies, it is strongly recommended that private companies also prioritize addressing the vulnerabilities outlined in CISA's KEV list, which includes bugs known to be exploited in attacks.
