The unprecedented attack on Apple iPhones last week was broader than first thought. There could be many more victims using Microsoft software too.
attack on Apple iPhones revealed by Google this week
Google’s and Microsoft’s operating systems were targeted via the same websites that launched the iPhone hacks, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Neither Microsoft nor Google had provided comment at the time of publication. It’s unclear if Google knew or disclosed that the sites were also targeting other operating systems. One source familiar with the hacks claimed Google had only seen iOS exploits being served from the sites. Apple has yet to offer any statement on the attacks and hadn’t provided comment on the latest developments.
It's unclear exactly what Android and Windows exploits were launched via the websites that were used to launch attacks on Apple's OS. In the case of the iOS hacks, the exploits placed malware on the phone and could spy on a massive amount of data. That included encrypted WhatsApp, iMessage and Telegram texts, as well as live location.
