Rootpipe était restée une énigme jusqu’alors : Apple avait en effet annoncé que corriger cette vulnérabilité prendrait du temps et Emil Kvarnammar, le chercheur à l’origine de cette découverte, avait accepté d’attendre un patch avant de donner plus de détails.

Companies around the globe were victim to malware, stolen data and exploited vulnerabilities. Big companies weren’t immune to this, with Target, JPMogan Chase, Home Depot and Sony Pictures suffering the painful sting of data breaches. Even celebrities were targeted, with compromised iCloud accounts. It really isn’t surprising that almost everyone anticipates the need to prepare for security challenges in the coming months.
