NSA, the American federal agency that ensures the "security" of the USA by spying on people from all over the world, had used in the past years a malware called DROPOUT JEEP to spy iDevice owners. The information comes from a document created in 2008, describing a procedure through which NSA install in iPhone-ers a malware called DROPOUT JEEP to obtain various information from the terminals. After installation, the malware allowed the NSA to receive files from the terminal or send others, read all SMS, contact lists, voicemails, location information, record pictures, take audio feed from microphone, the commands being sent to the terminal via an SMS or an Internet connection.
DROPOUTJEEP is a software implant for the Apple iPhone that utilizes modular mission applications to provide specific SIGINT functionality. This functionality includes the ability to remotely push/pull files from the device. SMS retrieval, contact list retrieval, voicemail, geolocation, hot mic, camera capture, cell tower location, etc. Command, control and data exfiltration can occur over SMS messaging or a GPRS data connection. All communications with the implant will be covert and encrypted.
All communication between the NSA and the terminal was done using a hidden and encrypted protocol, so that only Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), he could probably figure out what's going on in his iOS. The NSA software was so good that the agency claimed it had a 100% installation/extraction success rate and probably over time developed the malware in such a way that iPhones could be attacked from a distance. If you're wondering how exactly the NSA got access to the terminals, well it seems that they intercepted the packages of products purchased by customers and installed software on them before the courier company delivered them, so that the users received a terminal infected with at the very beginning.
Practically, the NSA had very complex methods to spy on anyone and unfortunately the targets were not only citizens located on the territory of the USA.

For me, after I reconnect to my ios on my phone (I have gevey), my phone receives 3-6-9-12 sms from Cronos (I'm on orange) destination not allowed - does anyone know what vb is about? I have tel for 2 years since ios 5.0.1. I buttoned it - jailbreak - inserted pirated applications without jailbreak... etc... When it seemed to me that the version was a bit cumbersome, I would re-restore it (to maintain the jailbreak) or insert a clean ios... I kept receiving and continue to receive those sms from cronos (orange): "destination not allowed" ..... Has anyone else experienced something like this????
That's how I used to get a nokia e61i every time I unlocked it, it wanted to send an sms with an unauthorized destination. I don't know what he was referring to
Anyway, many of you have nothing to hide, this news should not worry you. I am obviously referring to those who commented here in this sense
Chip, you have activated the function that sends reports, errors, etc. that's why you get those messages, deactivate the function that sends the reports to Apple and everything will be ok 🙂
@Cipa
Try to activate FaceTime and iMessage (activation is done by sending a series of 3 sms to a phone number in England). That's why every time you have a multiple of 3, error from Cronos. That's what happened to me too, I changed that number from a file (with a jailbreak, of course) but after I noticed that it didn't activate FaceTime, I changed it in place and put in my credit to be able to send those sms once :))
@Cipa
Trying to activate FaceTime and iMessage on the phone number (activation is done by sending a series of 3 sms to a number in England), hence the errors in multiples of 3.
@Cristi: remarks like this are pure nonsense.
Absolutely WHATEVER YOU DO, whether you have something to hide or not, can and WILL be interpreted to the liking of the one who follows you. INDIFFERENT if you are in good faith or not.
So please stop with these security slogans and, if you can, post your conversations and sms online. That you still have nothing to hide...
All this mega developed technology disappears at the first resoft...so...
There are some who never make resoftwares, only updates. Then what...?
[...] DROPOUTJEEP is the name of a malware that I told you about on the last day of last year, when I told you that the American federal agency NSA used it 3-4 years ago to gain access to iPhone files and to control them. Although it is not known if this malware can still be used to exploit iOS, the NSA had a 100% exploitation rate for the terminals that came into their possession, so we are talking about powerful software, which Apple apparently does not would have known.
