WASHINGTON (Reuters) – US researchers Zero, the Internet services giant, have discovered a number of hacked websites that have been able to install spyware on iPhone users for years. Monday researchers.

According to the researchers, if the user accessed one of these sites using the "iPhone" phone, the messages, photos and location data of his personal phone would be vulnerable to theft.

Google communicated the results to Apple earlier this year, bridging those vulnerabilities in the same software update that eliminated the vulnerability known as FaceTime.

"There was no discrimination in targeting," Ian Bear told Project Zero in an email. We estimate the number of users who visit these sites several thousand per week. "
