"Spyware Vendor Targets Egyptian Orgs With Rare iOS Exploit Chain"
An Israeli surveillanceware company used the three recently revealed Apple zero-day vulnerabilities to create an exploit chain for iPhones, and a Chrome zero-day to exploit Androids in a novel attack against Egyptian organizations. According to a recent report by Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG), "Intellexa" used the special access it gained through the exploit chain to install its "Predator" spyware on unidentified targets in Egypt. Predator was initially developed by Cytrox, one of several spyware developers that Intellexa has absorbed in recent years.
