Apple hit back today at claims from Google researchers that iPhone owners were indiscriminately vulnerable to being hacked. Security researchers at Google revealed on Aug. 29 that iOS, the operating system that Apple’s iPhones, iPads, and iPods run on, were susceptible to a security flaw that could theoretically allow hackers to “steal private data like iMessages, photos and GPS location in real-time” off of devices, just by visiting infected websites. Google chose not to name the websites that had been affected, and Apple’s acknowledgement of the affected sites seems to suggest that this action, as experts expected, was likely the result of a nation-state looking to spy on a specific populace.
