some time ago I was having super weird phone issues (iphone) and narrowed it down to one of these services. I clearly had been 0 click vuln’d because I couldnt fathom how else it could have been infected, but had no idea who or why, still dont know. felt extremely gross and I have absolutely zero sympathy for any users or operators of these services and think this researcher was far too polite about it.

How did you diagnose the issue? My iPhone feels like an appliance, and an increasingly slow and buggy one at that!

Reboot the phone. This sort of stuff is not really possible on iPhone. None of the fancy spyware on iPhone survives reboots.

this was apple's advice as well, but alas, the only thing that remediated it was a full factory reset. /shrug
