If this is true, Xitter is completely and utterly compromised. I’ll wait for confirmation on Android having some massive vulnerability that iOS doesn’t seem to have.

I’ll wait for confirmation on Android having some massive vulnerability that iOS doesn’t seem to have.

Attackers can supposedly target Android and iOS devices, obtaining a multitude of sensitive information, such as hardware information, GPS data, contacts, media files, and real-time audio recordings.

Least obvious Apple cultist.

You understand they're completely different operating systems right? The presence of a massive vulnerability in one doesn't necessitate the same in the other. Look at the zero click vulnerabilities in iOS from 2022 that didn't exist in Android.

While several researchers have analyzed the supposedly leaked documents, no official confirmation of their veracity exists as of the writing of this article.

None of this information has been confirmed.

Given the degradation of Xitter’s staff, I’d expect there to be vulnerabilities, so that’s not a surprise. I’ll still wait for confirmation on that news before I take it as being true.

I was just nit picking your statement that you seem to think that a vulnerability MUST exist on both platforms. The article later goes on to say that it can supposedly affect both device types.
