Kaspersky finds hardware backdoor in 5 generations of Apple Silicon (2024)
(xstore.co.za)
Kaspersky has found a hardware/silicon-based backdoor in 5 generations of Apple mobile silicon, starting with the A12 CPU (iPhone X) and continuing to the A16 CPU (iPhone 14/15). These CPUs have been used in other Apple products like the iPad, Watch and TV, so the iPhone is not the only affected product.
