A handful of websites in the wild had assembled five so-called exploit chains-tools that link together security vulnerabilities, allowing a hacker to penetrate each layer of iOS digital protections. On Thursday evening, Google's Project Zero security research team revealed a broad campaign of iPhone hacking. And they've indiscriminately hacked thousands of iPhones just by getting them to visit a website. But a discovery by a group of Google researchers has turned that notion on its head: For two years, someone has been exploiting a rich collection of iPhone vulnerabilities with anything but restraint or careful targeting. Hacking the iPhone has long been considered a rarified endeavor, undertaken by sophisticated nation-states against only their most high-value targets.
