It has been reported that Google’s team of security researchers have discovered six devastating flaws in Apple’s iMessage app, one of which they claim the company has not fixed. Five of the critical bugs which the team found in Apple’s instant messaging service iMessage have now been fixed. One of the flaws impacted both Macs and iPhones, but would cause iPhones to crash and become unusable even after being reset. Another of the flaws could allow an attacker to remotely access an Apple device and copy files off it without the owner even having to respond to a security prompt. These bugs were addressed in the iOS 12.4 release, but another of the bugs was not fixed in the most recent update.
