After the release of Checkm8, hundreds (maybe thousands) of researchers globally didn't sleep much and basically looked like this. Getting into DFU hundreds of times is quite tiring but soon the sandbox will be forever free for most iPhones/iPads!
#FreeTheSandbox #Checkm8
Shamelessly copied from @AntonSquaredMe who did it for chess (but not Checkm8) :)
While we're at it, like/RT this tweet to help @Apple understand that #FreeTheSandbox would actually help iOS security:

For those who think that NSO is the problem - you're missing out the bigger picture:

1. There are many vendors like NSO, not just in Israel. Also in EU, APAC, N. America, and others.

2. Even if NSO shuts down tomorrow: we still have a problem: mobile attacks are scalable.
2. (cont) Once you have created a generic attack-chain, you can infect 1B+ devices. This is too powerful to keep a single barrier for attackers which already block telemetry sharing with the vendors.
3. NSO is *EASY* to find *if* a deeper access is provided to the phones.

Which leads to the bigger problem:

Why we can opt-in to be tracked by ads but can't opt-in to choose our own security apps to run with full privileges on our own phones?

[Important thread 1/N]: Let that sink in for a second: almost all respected publications were under espionage.

All the sources of journalists, were exposed. If you ever spoke to a journalist (even with "Signal"/"Whatsapp") you are exposed.

THIS IS A MAJOR THREAT TO DEMOCRACY!
[2/N] If we needed another proof that we have to fix the broken mobile security permission model, here it is.

NSO's software is actually super easy to catch, but due to the lack of permissions it becomes almost impossible at scale, and NSO only has a single vendor to avoid.
[3/N] This was easy to do for NSO: they simply blocked telemetry, communications, and updates to Apple/Google: and viola! They were set. The vendors had no visibility.
