[Global Synthetic Reporter Li Zongze] According to the Taiwan’s “China Times†reported on March 9, a few days ago, WikiLeaks announced about 8,700 documents, pointing out that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has used a number of tools for iOS. Android and Windows devices attacked, as if the Prism Gate incident repeated many years ago. This is shocking. In response to this, Apple has responded by claiming that the “majority†iOS exploits used by the CIA have been fixed.

In response to WikiLeaks pointed out that the CIA used system exploits to attack the iOS system, Apple stated in the statement: "Apple has always been committed to safeguarding consumer privacy and security. Today's iPhone has incorporated many technologies to provide users with the best data security. Sexuality, and we continue to work hard to create a safer environment for use. Our products and software can be easily updated at the beginning of design. Today, nearly 80% of users have used the latest version of the operating system. The initial understanding of the recent system vulnerabilities has been fixed in the latest version of iOS, and the remaining bugs will be fixed as soon as possible. We have always recommended that users download the latest iOS to ensure that they have the latest security. Updated."
According to WikiLeaks, the CIA has a total of 14 iOS vulnerabilities spanning iOS 4 to iOS 9.2. Through the system loopholes it has learned, the CIA launched more than 10,000 attacks worldwide. However, how many of these are targeted at the iOS platform is still unknown. According to Apple, they have repaired most of the 14 vulnerabilities, but what has been fixed, what has not yet been fixed, and when the schedule can be fixed, Apple did not explain.
Not only did Apple’s iOS system become the target of CIA lockdown in this WikiLeaks public profile; Samsung’s F8000 series of smart TVs is also a victim. It is understood that the CIA can create a false shutdown mode to record via TV; after the TV is turned back on and connected to the wireless network, the recorded data will be transmitted to the CIA server. The horror of the plot, like the real version of the anti-Utopian novel "1984," is chilling.
