Spyware researchers have captured what they say is a new exploit from NSO Group’s Pegasus surveillance tool targeting iPhones and other Apple devices through iMessage.
washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
Apple issued a patch Monday to close the exploit discovered by researchers at Citizen Lab who said they found the hack in the iPhone records of a Saudi political activist and alerted the company to the problem. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
The researchers said that the hacking technique used, which they called FORCEDENTRY, has been active since at least February and can invade Apple iPhones, MacBooks and Apple Watches secretly in what is called a “zero-click attack.” washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
The “zero click” capability of Pegasus allows the spyware to install itself on a phone without the owner doing anything, such as clicking a link.

“Peril,” a new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward and national political reporter Robert Costa, reveals how Gen. Mark A. Milley called his Chinese counterpart before the election and after Jan. 6 in a bid to avert armed conflict. washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…
In the book’s telling, Milley went so far as to pledge he would alert his counterpart in the event of a U.S. attack, stressing the rapport they’d established through a backchannel. wapo.st/3tF7kEI “General Li, I want to assure you that the American govern

There are nearly 11 million job openings, yet more than 8.4 million unemployed are still actively looking for work.

From the White House to the local Waffle House, there’s a struggle to understand what is going on — and what’s likely ahead. wapo.st/3hvDbmx
The job market looks, in some ways, like a boom-time situation. Business owners complain they can’t find enough workers and pay is rising rapidly.

But the nation remains in the midst of a deadly pandemic. wapo.st/3hvDbmx
The covid surge is weighing on the labor market again.

There are still 5 million fewer jobs compared to before the pandemic, reflecting ongoing problems, including child care as some schools and day cares shut down again from outbreaks. wapo.st/3hvDbmx

Sept. 11, 2001 claimed the lives of 2,977 innocent people and sparked two wars, both longer by far than any in U.S. history.

These are the stories of how the attacks changed the lives of millions across the world: survivors, rescue workers, service members, refugees and more.
The 19-year-olds, born in the weeks and months after the attack, grieve for fathers who never got to hold them or watch them grow up.
Hundreds of thousands of Afghans and Iraqis displaced by the wars in their home countries have settled in the U.S., their journeys to the land of opportunity spurred by tragedy and loss in the wake of 9/11.

On Sept. 12, 2001, the United States staggered to its feet amid the devastation of the al-Qaeda terrorist attacks the day before.

For some Americans and millions of others around the globe, the harshest impacts were just beginning. wapo.st/3yYJKDQ
On Sept. 12, Genelle Guzman woke in a terrible darkness, unable to move.

She was the last person pulled alive from the rubble. To the 30-year-old immigrant, living through the collapse was only the first of many miracles in her life. wapo.st/3yYJKDQ ImageImage
Ronie Huddleston, a veteran of the first Iraq war, repacked his gear the day after 9/11, after receiving orders for a new combat mission.
