 🚨 Update your #apple
 products immediately!

Last week we @beb4ab43 discovered a new #Pegasus zero-click exploit chain.

(No clicking required to infect latest iOS with #spyware 

Found while checking civil society.

Disclosed to Apple which rushed a patch.

Takeway? Yet again scrappy civil society = the #cybersecurity early warning system for billions of users.

 @e68a5c0d @beb4ab43 I don't have any Apple products. If I did, I would have already updated them before reading your post. 
 @e68a5c0d What does “civil society” mean in this tweet? (I have no background in cybersecurity) 
 @e68a5c0d @beb4ab43 is this also a problem for iPads (mine is 2 months old and was updated at start of use 5 weeks ago)
