Calif hackers claim a full iPhone compromise, demoed at Hexacon

At Hexacon in Paris, the Calif team unveiled a series of demos showing what they say is a complete iPhone hack: a one-click attack via Signal, a compromise that reaches iMessage rather than a third-party app, and a jab at Apple that recasts APT as "Apple Persistent Threat." Full technical details and releases are promised later.

APT stands for Apple Persistent Threat.
