LOL!! You must have a time machine or something because everything he said was true but not anymore.
Do any of you have any credentials to make such statements? Some diplomas or a successful career in the cyber security industry? Do you keep up with the latest threats?
I've always tried to cite my sources and have yet to see anyone here to the same. There's a lot of "I think" and "maybe."
The conclusion to the speculations above is that if the government wants to, they can. Everyone gets that...
This pretty much concedes to my argument though without even realizing because what I've been saying (and what those articles were talking about) is that there have been multiple major leaks of iOS and Apple specific malware so now anybody with a basement and a laptop and no friends can watch you on your webcam, track your location and all those lovely things, no Q Division required.
Thousands of pages of documents and reports on the were published by major news outlets earlier this year. That only in a James Bond movie attitude is just not true anymore. To that point, go watch Goldeneye and then tell me how much better every single piece of futuretech back then is now.
Oh and here's the US-CERT warning everyone that there's a massive unpatched iOS specific Bluetooth exploit out right now that's put millions of devices open to remote execution of commands (they're probably just playing Angry Birds so don't worry people they're not stealing your data or invading your privacy..hackers are well known to have extremely high ethics and low intelligence).
09/12/2017 - US Computer Emergency Readiness Team:
US-CERT is aware of a collection of Bluetooth vulnerabilities, known as BlueBorne, potentially affecting millions of unpatched mobile phones, computers, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. A remote attacker could exploit several of these vulnerabilities to take control of affected devices.
US-CERT recommends that users and administrators read Vulnerability Note VU#240311https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/240311https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/240311 for more information.

No patch is available as of yet and can anyone remind me how many months went by between when the previous massive vunerability was formally documented and when the it finally got patched?
Was it 5 months or 6 months?
