@evacide Either some exploit developer somewhere just happens to really like taking apart iMessage, or Apple has a serious flaw in their entire systems security design.

@jaseg Finding vulns in iMessage is highly lucrative for people who sell exploits to governments.

@evacide I'm wondering how much of that is because of poor design decisions on Apple's part, and how much because of the sheer market penetration of iMessage on iOS.

It could be that NSO Group have a mole working inside Apple, someone on the inside who is deliberately planting the needed kind of security holes "by mistake".

@eliasr As far as I understand, in iOS by design iMessage just happens to sit in an uniquely vulnerable spot. Having done some reverse engineering myself, I can totally see how with sufficient funding you can develop these exploits without any moles, or even a source code leak.
