RE: The Stealthy iPhone Hacks That Apple Still Can't Stop - Wired
The exploit is iMessage, Not SMS. SMS messages don’t preload links. I recon you still have to actively click on SMS links for those exploits to work. In that case, iMessage should just not work for unknown contacts. It should fall back to SMS.
Good point. I'm not familiar with iMessage, so I don't know how much of a change that would be. For high profile targets, a close contact could always be bribed or coerced into launching an attack anyway, but at least it would reduce the risk.
