Yeah, hopefully that.

Particular attention was paid to Memory-Mapped IO (MMIO) addresses used for communication between the CPU and other devices. The problem was that the attackers used unknown MMIO addresses to bypass hardware-based kernel protection. Therefore, the team had to pick through the hardware, firmware, and kernel images to work out what was going on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is no ordinary vulnerability,&#8221; said Boris Larin, Principal Security Researcher at Kaspersky&#8217;s GReAT.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"falcon\" data-xmd=\",fluid,mpu,leaderboard,\" data-lg=\",fluid,mpu,leaderboard,\" data-xlg=\",fluid,billboard,superleaderboard,mpu,leaderboard,\" data-xxlg=\",fluid,billboard,superleaderboard,brandwidth,brandimpact,leaderboard,mpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44ZY5jVTQyFJwYoL3kBLntZAAAAEk&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D4%26raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44ZY5jVTQyFJwYoL3kBLntZAAAAEk&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D426raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Due to the closed nature of the iOS ecosystem, the discovery process was both challenging and time-consuming, requiring a comprehensive understanding of both hardware and software architectures. What this discovery teaches us once again is that even advanced hardware-based protections can be rendered ineffective in the face of a sophisticated attacker, particularly when there are hardware features allowing to bypass these protections.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The vulnerability played a critical role in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2023\/06\/21\/apple_patches_triangledb_spyware\/\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Operation Triangulation&#8221; campaign<\/a> earlier this year, which allowed miscreants to gain access to targeted devices, deploy spyware, and snoop user data.
