DROPOUTJEEP … “A software implant for the Apple iPhone that utilizes modular mission applications to provide specific SIGINT functionality. This functionality includes the ability to remotely push/pull files from the device. SMS retrieval, contact list retrieval, voicemail, geolocation, hot mic, camera capture, cell tower location, etc. Command, control and data exfiltration can occur over SMS messaging or a GPRS data connection. All communications with the implant will be covert and encrypted.”
JFC… that’s dystopian. A rooted android with a custom rom (shoutout GrapheneOS) can disable the GPRS connection, then could rely on dns filtered, firewalled, and VPN’d WiFi networks to make calls and texts.
What’s shitty tho is the average person likely won’t even care and will accept spyware on their device as the new normal. That just makes me sad tbh.
Wouldn’t Apple just tell the French police to go fuck themselves?
I can’t see why they would. Apple doesn’t care about you, but they probably do care about retaliation from the French government.
