Kwiveki ephelile, abaphandi bezokhuseleko babhaqe isixhobo esiphucukileyo sokuqhekeza esibizwa ngokuba “I-DarkSword” isetyenziselwa ukujolisa kubasebenzisi be-iPhone. Ngoku, inguqulelo ehlaziyiweyo yesixhobo iye yavuza kwi-GitHub, ebangela inkxalabo ebanzi.
Abaphandi balumkisa ukuba nayiphi na i-hacker inokusebenzisa isixhobo ngokulula ukujolisa kubasebenzisi be-iPhone kunye ne-iPad abangakhange bahlaziye kwi-iOS yamva nje 26 inkqubo. Ngokutsho kwedatha ye-Apple, inani lezixhobo ezichaphazelekayo zinokufikelela kumakhulu ezigidi.
“Oku kubi. Ezi zixhobo zilula kakhulu ukuba zisetyenziswe kwakhona,” watsho uMatthias Frielingsdorf, umseki wefemu yokhuseleko lweselula iVerify. “Izigebenga ziya kuqalisa ukuyithumela kungekudala.”
Waqaphela ukuba iifayile ezivuzayo ziyi-HTML kunye neJavaScript kuphela, enokuthi nabani na ayisebenzise kwimizuzu. Iqela lokhuseleko likaGoogle liyavumelana nolu vavanyo. Enye i-hobbyist yokhuseleko yathi sele isebenzise isampuli ejikelezayo kwi-intanethi ukuze igqekeze kwi-iPad esebenzisa i-iOS 18.
Isithethi sika-Apple uSarah O'Rourke uthe inkampani iyabuqonda ubuthathaka kwaye yakhupha icandelo likaxakeka ngoMatshi. 11 kwizixhobo ezingakwaziyo ukuhlaziya inkqubo yamva nje. “Ukugcina isoftware yakho isexesheni yeyona nto ibalulekileyo onokuyenza ukuze uhlale ukhuselekile,” uthe, ukongeza ukuba izixhobo ezihlaziyiweyo kunye nezo zineNdlela yokutshixa eyenziwe yasebenza azichaphazeleki.
Ikhowudi evuzayo iqulathe amagqabantshintshi achaza indlela yokubiwa kweenkcukacha ezibuthathaka kwizixhobo ekujoliswe kuzo-kuquka abafowunelwa., imiyalezo, imbali call, kunye neWi-Fi passwords-kwaye uyithumele kwiiseva ezilawulwa ngabahlaseli. Ikhowudi ikwabhekisela ekulayisheni idatha kwiwebhusayithi yaseUkraine, nangona isizathu sihlala singacacanga.
Ngokohlahlelo oluvela kwiifemu ezininzi zokhuseleko, “I-DarkSword” ijolise ngokukodwa izixhobo ezisebenzisa i-iOS 18 kunye neenguqulelo zangaphambili. Idatha ye-Apple ibonisa ukuba malunga nekota yabasebenzisi basekho kwezi nkqubo zakudala, leyo-kunikwe kukho ngaphezu 2.5 iibhiliyoni zezixhobo ezisebenzayo-kuthetha ukuba amakhulu ezigidi zabasebenzisi ahlala esengozini.
Abaphandi bacebisa ukuba bonke abasebenzisi be-iPhone bahlaziye iinkqubo zabo zokusebenza ngokukhawuleza ukukhusela kuhlaselo olunokwenzeka.
