“Pegasaurus-Rex” posted a technical defense against NSO group. But that does not protect everybody.
Apple Retail, in Charlotte, NorthCarolina, at North Lake Mall, used hacking cables against its customer and a U.S. Citizen. The employees Myesha and Nick mislead, deceived, and harmed someone by their own actions.
So even if you are a journalist or academic, like said customer, you are not safe. Apple will not protect you. That sounds sad when you read the text aloud. Apple chose not helping open active shooters iPhone. Yet Apple used hacking cables on an academic or journalist.
I do not put anything past Apple now. I used to believe in their principles. I no longer believe in them.
