Apple patches decade-old iOS zero-day, possibly exploited by commercial spyware

: Flaw abused 'in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals'

The Register

It's pretty unbeliveable that a zero-day can sit here this long. If one can exist, the likeliehood of more existing at all times is non-trivial.

Whether it's a walled garden of iOS, or relative openneds of Android, I don't think either can police everythign on anyone's behalf.

I'm not sure how organizations can secure any device ios or android if they can't track and control the network layer, period out of it, and there are zero carveouts for the OS itself around network traffic visibility.

How do you expect to catch this with network traffic analysis?
