NSO hacks 10 iPhones for $650,000: report
06 Sep 2016
The New York Times reports that the Israeli hacking company, NSO is now offering its services for a fee.
People who want 10 iPhones hacked would need to pay $650,000 which is for the actual results. The group additionally charges $500,000 for what it calls a ''setup fee.''
Hackers can provide their clients insider access to all activities done on the phone, from keystroke tracking to the phone's location and the private messages received on the phone can be accessed. Given that anything that the owner did with e phone was tagged and recorded, made it ideally suited for targeting specific, high-value individuals.
According to commentators, the Israeli outfit was only one of many groups selling their hacking skills to customers who were willing to pay their price as well, and many of them were capable of offering more in-depth penetrations than what the NSO Group was capable of.
However, according to Engadget, a spokesperson for the Israeli company stated that the services of the NSO Group were offered only to authorised government bodies.
Owners of iPhones do not have much to worry about since they would not let just anybody spy on them.
