In June, cybersecurity company Kaspersky announced that it was targeted by an advanced threat actor that compromised several Apple iOS devices in the company using zero-click exploits sent in text messages. Follow-up reporting indicates the threat actor used at least four zero-day exploits in the attack and exploited a previously unknown hardware flaw in Apple M1 and M2 chips. The Russian Federal Security Service said the attack also compromised diplomatic personnel in Russia; they attributed the attack to the U.S. National Security Agency.
