    Some group is now blackmailing Apple by saying they will execute a major IPhone exploit found in the Wikileakes dump (which the morons in the CIA inadvertently provided to them through the dump), and demanding millions of dollars if they do not comply.

    I heard about this. Kind of weak though. Threatening to do this when the exploit wasn't even their own.

    Makes me wonder if it's for show though. Trying to make the CIA look bad, or maybe trying to make Wikileaks look bad.

    CIA wrote an exploit that was intended to be deployed to iphones somewhere in the supply chain prior to sale; the iphones would be pre-exploited.

    if people started discovering their iphones were insecure from the store that would destroy consumer confidence in apple

    That's the consumers' fault for having that confidence. Never assume anything, especially privacy.

    the idea of BIOS was to have a light, barebones system to control boot flow and hardware initialisation - more intensive operations could be loaded afterwards. there's no real benefit to moving general code execution into that pre-boot area; it just creates more surface area for attacks without the ability to use the regular memory protection mechanisms
