(CNN Business)Apple has updated its software for iPhones to address a critical
vulnerability that independent researchers say has been exploited by notorious
surveillance software to spy on a Saudi activist.

Researchers from the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab said the software
exploit has been in use since February and has been used to deploy Pegasus, the
spyware made by Israeli firm NSO Group that has allegedly been used to surveil
journalists and human rights advocates in multiple countries.
The urgent update that Apple (AAPL) released Monday plugs a hole in the iMessage
software that allowed hackers to infiltrate a user's phone without the user
clicking on any links, according to Citizen Lab. The Saudi activist chose to
remain anonymous, Citizen Lab said.



Apple credited the Citizen Lab researchers for finding the vulnerability.

"Attacks like the ones described are highly sophisticated, cost millions of
dollars to develop, often have a short shelf life, and are used to target
specific individuals," Ivan Krstić, head of Apple Security Engineering and
Architecture, said in a statement.

Krstić said Apple rapidly addressed the issue with a software fix and that the
vulnerability is "not a threat to the overwhelming majority of our users."
Still, security experts encouraged users to update their mobile devices for
protection.
Ransomware attacks are about to get worse. But there are ways to stop them
In a statement, NSO Group did not address the allegations, only saying, "NSO
Group will continue to provide intelligence and law enforcement agencies around
the world with life saving technologies to fight terror and crime."
The firm has previously said its software is only sold to vetted customers for
counterterrorism and law enforcement purposes.
Researchers, however, say they have found multiple cases in which the spyware
was deployed on dissidents or journalists. In 2019, Citizen Lab analysts alleged
that Pegasus was used on the mobile phone of the wife of a slain Mexican
journalist.
In a lawsuit filed in 2019, Facebook accused NSO Group of being complicit in a
hack of 1,400 mobile devices using WhatsApp. (NSO Group disputed the allegations
at the time.)

The proliferation of easy-to-use mobile hacking tools has given governments
around the world a new and stealthy means of targeting adversaries.
Sophisticated spyware made by NSO Group and other vendors has been reportedly
used from Uzbekistan to Morocco.
The surge in spyware prompted a United Nations panel of human rights experts in
August to call for a moratorium on the sale of such surveillance tools. The UN
panel said the ban should remain in place until governments have "put in place
robust regulations that guarantee its use in compliance with international human
rights standards."
