Research Finds Predator Spyware Can Bypass iOS Privacy Indicators for Covert Surveillance
The commercial spyware Predator has gained the ability to block iOS privacy indicators at the system level, preventing iPhones from displaying the green or orange dots when the camera or microphone is accessed, making it difficult for users to detect surveillance.
According to the research, the spyware intercepts changes in sensor status through system-level means and can bypass certain iOS security mechanisms, enhancing its persistence after system updates.
