According to my sources, Cellebrite used to purchase iPhone prototypes (aka dev-fused devices), which had lower security features, to develop its zero-days. Corellium's founder Chris Wade also purchased them back in the day, according to sources.
. @jsrailton has some words that underscore just how important and potentially impactful this ruling is. Huge win for WhatsApp, but more than that, a devastating loss for NSO, and for all its spyware competitors.
Skype is getting shut down today. It was certainly one of the most revolutionaries chat apps in history.
Skype was the first major chat app to implement end-to-end encryption, prompting authorities all over the world to freak out about it, and look at spyware as a solution.
“Skype calls have excellent sound quality and are highly secure with end-to-end encryption,” Skype’s homepage read in 2004.

The official website of zero-day broker Zerodium has been updated in December of last year. There are no price lists nor any information anymore, just an email and a PGP public key.

If you know what's happening there...let me know.
I am starting to think these Lockdown Mode notifications are even dumber and confusing than I thought.
I get them all the time while I chat with someone, for example, after their first message. Apparently, they don't do anything because the conversation keeps going. (This happens with people who are in my contact list btw)
But then, the other day I saw one one of these warnings, which named a person I wasn't messaging with at the time.
Should I assume this means they were messaging me and Lockdown Mode prevented them?
Does anyone know what these notifications actually mean? Or what they are supposed to tell a Lockdown Mode user?
