iMessage Zero-Click Attacks Suspected in Targeting of High-Value Individuals - SecurityWeek

iVerify, a mobile EDR firm, suspects zero-click attacks targeting an iMessage vulnerability, called Nickname, on iPhones belonging to high-value individuals in the EU and US. The attacks, observed in late 2024 and early 2025, involved exploiting a race condition in the imagent process, potentially leading to device compromise. Apple, however, denies the claims, stating the issue was a conventional software bug fixed in iOS 18.3.
