Apple has issued a global iPhone security update after a flaw was uncovered that can give hackers¹ full control of a phone.

 

苹果公司对全球的iPhone手机发布一个安全更新，此前在iOS系统中发现的一个小漏洞可以使黑客取得手机的完全控制权。

 

In a statement, the company said it had fixed³ the vulnerability immediately.

 

A senior researcher at internet watchdog group Citizen Lab, Bill Marczak, says it's the first time they've seen such a hack² used in the public realm.

 

"It seems that the attack involved a series of 'zero day' exploits called a 'remote jailbreak'. Now this sort of attack, this is the first time we've seen that in the wild."

 

The flaw could give hackers the ability to eavesdrop⁴ on calls, activate⁵ cameras, steal passwords and harvest messages.

 

Researchers uncovered the malicious⁶ software after a human rights activist⁷ in the United Arab Emirates, Ahmed Mansoor, received suspicious text messages earlier this month.
