[–] markstos@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago (2 children) I’m unfamiliar with evidence to support any sanctioned CIA backdoor. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Hyperreality@kbin.social 6 points 3 years ago Snowden. A good starting point is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANT_catalog For example: DROPOUTJEEP .... "A software implant for the Apple iPhone that utilizes modular mission applications to provide specific SIGINT functionality. This functionality includes the ability to remotely push/pull files from the device. SMS retrieval, contact list retrieval, voicemail, geolocation, hot mic, camera capture, cell tower location, etc. Command, control and data exfiltration can occur over SMS messaging or a GPRS data connection. All communications with the implant will be covert and encrypted."

Think it came out with Snowden? Fuzy on details but you can look into it. It did include camera access but i dont think it could be installed remotely. Id be surprised if theres anything the NSA cant intercept but thats obviously what they would want us to think and Im just a guy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] markstos@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) There will always be spies working with exploits, which is different from a sanctioned backdoor. I doubt the tech used in DROPOUTJEEP works anymore. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Minsk_trust@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Ah i see what you’re saying.
