    Interesting exploit. With this level of sophistication, are state actors the only suspects?

      Pretty much it seems. Based on the target I’ve seen some speculation it’s NSA, maybe even in collab with Apple (though I kinda doubt it). Pretty crazy regardless. A level of skill that is pretty unfathomable imo. I’ve seen full time Vuln researchers completely mind blown over this. I’m too n00b to even have my mind blown properly by this hahaha.

        NSA do seem a likely culprit, Russia seem like an unlikely target for the other major players. I too am far too much of a noob to properly evaluate the sophistication of this exploit.
