The misuse of spyware originally intended for government use highlights a disturbing trend where such surveillance technology can extend beyond its intended purposes, impacting business leaders.
iVerify CEO Rocky Cole remarked that the targeted business leader was 'completely surprised' by the spyware attempt, indicating the sophisticated nature of contemporary surveillance techniques.
Despite the troubling findings, Cole emphasized that the limited number of infections noted 'was not representative of the general population,' signaling that those with iVerify's app are inherently at greater risk.
As threats evolve, the app's ability to detect anomalies in the operating system is crucial, especially since Apple’s strict control limits external security checks, making surveillance detection challenging.
