The same three vulnerabilities found in iOS can be also exploited by a Trojan on OS X. Apple has released an emergency Security Update to close those three vulnerabilities for OS X, as they already did last week for them on iOS. It is PAST time for OS X El Capitan and Yosemite users to hit the Black Apple menu, select "App Store...", and then click on the "update" choice and update their computer! If you have yet to update your iOS device do it NOW using SETTINGS/General/Software Update. Note, these exploits are EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE for anyone to use against an individual, as they were proprietary to a single company, the NSO Group in Israel, who paid $1 million for them and was selling access to them for $650,000 per 10 iPhones, Android phones, and $500,000 per 10 Blackberry phones, and $300,000 per 10 Symbian phones, with a $500,000 one time set-up fee per customer. Apparently, the flaws were not just applicable to just Apple mobile devices and computers, but cross platform. . . but Apple has now closed the flaws on its devices. Nothing has been said about Android, Blackberry, or Symbian. The only customers of this company are governments.— PING!
