Daily reminder to use Lockdown Mode, folks. Nothing of value is lost in activating and using it.
Edit: turns out the flaw is exploited by way of an attachment that LM stops from loading. So in this case, LM would save you.
Doesn't the article contradict what you just said?
"We believe, and Apple’s Security Engineering and Architecture team has confirmed to us, that Lockdown Mode blocks this particular attack," Citizen Lab said.
Edited. Still a sledgehammer approach imo.
The most likely issue you'll encounter is that it blocks almost all message attachment types, so if someone texts you an image, PDF, contact card, etc, it will completely block the attachment.
holy shit. Somehow I didn't know about that. Thank you!
