brilliant.org ssog that said let's get

to the video hello guys and gals me

mudahar and how's it going my fellow

friends it just keeps getting worse for

our friends over at Apple now of course

as you all know apple is getting pretty

much sued they're pretty much in the

biggest antitrust lawsuit of our time

right now of your generation uh actually

because of their Apple products their

iPhone being is locked down as it ever

was now obviously Apple's kind of

responded a little bit and they've been

kind of having to take some L's but only

as much as they've been legally required

to so just a little quick update on what

kind of uh L's that they've been taking

and actually massive W's for you and I

one of them you may have heard of is

that they've actually made it somehow

easier to start repairing the actual

phones that you buy okay now I believe

in things like right to repair you know

if I buy a product I should be able to

you know fix it to repair it to own it

you know it shouldn't be a thing where I

buy something with planned obsolescence

like it's the 50s and uh we just somehow

are okay with buying a product for a

crap ton of money and then having it

break down slow down on us and not being

able to fix things especially when

fixing a lot of stuff in a phone is a

lot easier than people give it credit

for okay so according to Apple over here

they basically uh you know taken away

some of the issues with pairing so what

they talked about was the process of

confirming whether or not a repair part

is genuine or gathering information

about the part often referred to as

pairing is critical to preserving the

Privacy security and safety of the

iPhone Apple teams have been hard at

work over the last two years to ensure

the ReUse of Parts such as biometric

sensors you know the things you use to

unlock your devices with your

fingerprint sensors you know facial uh

recognition apparatus all of that

calibration for genuine parts you were

used will happen on device after the

part is installed in addition future

iPhone releases will have support for

used biometric sensors and in order to

simplify the repair process customers

and service providers will no longer

need to provide a devic's serial number

when ordering parts from the

self-service repair store for repairs

not involving replacement of the logic

board and while you know you can read

Apple's statement and probably be like

wow that's really impressive of them the

reality is stuff like this should never

be confusing or stuff like this should

never be this complicated to repair so

again Apple doing the bare minimum is

still not good enough and the thing is

they're going to stay at the bare

minimum because the last thing this

company ever wants to do is provide you

with as much option and as much value as

you could as you could get into as long

as you're in that ecosystem as long as

you're stuck that's all that matters to

them now ladies and gentlemen you might

have also heard oh crap is Apple letting

emulators come into my G to my phone now

if you all don't know uh Apple has to

basically open up the ability for you to

install multiple different app stores in

Europe other parts of the world where

they're legally being forced to by the

way it's not because they want to

they're legally forced to do so they're

forced to comply so Apple has basically

I guess loosened up their App Store a

little bit and there was one actual

thing from their developer page which

talked about 4.7 mini apps mini games

streaming games chat Bots and game

emulators Apple may offer certain

software that is not embedded in the

binary specifically HTML 5 mini apps

mini games streaming games chat Bots and

plugins additionally retro game console

emulator apps can offer to download

games so immediately when people saw

this they were like wait a minute are we

able to download GBA emulators PS1

emulators I think this has more to do

with like big companies like Nintendo

like Sega like Sony releasing emulator

applications underneath the iOS and

letting you purchase emulated games from

within those tools I don't think this is

necessarily apple is allowing Game Boy

Advance emulator DS emulators GameCube

Playstation Xbox emulators on the store

that would be a wild thing and obviously

they also mentioned retro game apps so

it's a little vague what is retro and

what isn't is there a certain year cut

off what are we talking about over here

now obviously uh when it came to Apple

one of the things that got showcased and

shared around was the fact that somebody

submitted an actual emulator the Delta

game emulator and apparently Apple

accepted it but they didn't accept it

for the app store they actually accepted

it for something known as the alt store

for those of you who don't know what the

alt store is it's basically a thing that

allows Apple users to sideload

applications to their iPhone iPad

devices so if you want to run emulators

and you want to just you know have

access to them you can make an apple

developer account you can install this

to a Macbook and effectively just

install for a period of 7 days at a time

emulator access now obviously this is

not ideal and if you want access to

installing third party applications and

actually having control over your phone

then maybe it's time you just switch to

Android it's just better in that regard

apple is doing the bare minimum it can

to provide any support possible but of

course why I really want to make this

video is I woke up to something a little

bit scary ladies and gentlemen you might

have heard of this crazy headline or

maybe you even got an email sent to you

where Apple talked about threat

notifications protecting against State

sponsor attacks now I'm using the

Wayback machine to show it because they

actually changed the state sponsored

attacks to something I you not

known as mercenary spyware attacks this

is insane stuff to witness but Apple's

actually warning people that right now

there are some really scary people

trying to get access to your Apple

device and uh I'm here to talk about

exactly why and how so according to

Apple they're threat notifications and

they're basically protecting against

mercenary spyware so to give you an idea

what they talked about this is a little

scary so on the actual Apple ID homepage

some of you and make sure to check this

if you're an Apple user you may have got

a threat notification somewhere around

November 23rd 2021 or maybe even

recently about these mercenary spyware

attacks so according to Apple right here

what they said was because of who

certain people are and again the amount

of people that they're targeting these

mercenary groups are people like

journalists high ranking individuals

business owners people that have power

right and they own iPhones and the thing

is if you get access to their personal

devices the amount of damage and

information you can gather is very very

scary so what they've effectively said

here is according to public reports and

research by Tech firms journalists Civil

Society organizations they're basically

saying that the mercenary group behind

this is the NSO group and they're using

malware known as Pegasus and while

they're attacking very small amounts of

individuals people who are journalists

activists politicians diplomats the

damage can be in the millions of dollars

there is an extreme cost and there is an

extreme scare for everyone when people

like this get attacked now obviously

Apple provided because of these groups

actual lockdown tools so if you have an

iPhone for instance you may have heard

of something known as lockdown mode

which is an incredibly extreme

protective mode under the iPhone system

that basically locks down the device and

turns it into almost a dumb phone in

regards to certain Fields so for in if

you're messaging people attachment types

they're mostly blocked if you're

browsing most complex technologies that

make websites run better and operate

more efficiently are basically blocked

FaceTime calls are blocked unless you

previously called that specific person

and of course Apple Services some of

them are also blocked photos they also

have blocks as well device connections

Wireless connectivity and configuration

profile so a lot of stuff is

automatically locked off just to protect

individuals and this isn't just for

politicians or like rich people that are

targeted if you ever feel that your

phone is hacked and you run an iPhone

just enable lockdown mode I actually had

to walk another YouTuber through this

because their phone was hacked they were

actually getting and just putting

them through this mode allowed them to

at least circumvent actual attacks that

were headed towards their device it's

crazy the world we live in and this is

where I'm going to give Apple some

credit here they actually do provide a

lot of tools to help keep your is safe

and I think more companies should do

this and Apple's not doing this out of

the kindness of their heart believe it

or not they are taking these people to

Court So for anybody that

doesn't know even back in 2021 Apple

Sued this NSO group because of these

state sponsored spyware attacks they

filed a lawsuit against them and they

are actually contributing up to $10

million to cyber surveillance

researchers and advocacy groups just to

keep fighting against these goddamn

scumbags now obviously Apple's l suit

where I swear they use terms like amoral

21st century mercenaries who've created

highly sophisticated cyber surveillance

the thing is for apple you know suing

these people it's not necessarily just

to you know be benevolent for you

obviously any company wants to protect

its user base because having your name

and Cyber attack and leakage inside you

know major mainstream news sources does

not look good and does not Inspire

confidence if you watched Apple's recent

advertising you'll notice that they've

really pushed toward privacy and

security and if you buy an iPhone

utilizing their security parameters your

phone should be more safe and secure and

in ways I would say Apple's IOS to an

extent is so if you have a big company

like NSO group and a country going up

against them and making a mockery of

their security it's ultimately bad for

their brand and obviously that's why

Apple wants to stand up and I think most

companies should the more these

companies try to detach themselves from

these corporate entities or these I

guess quote unquote aoral mercenaries so

at this point it's time to ask who the

is the NSO group what kind of

dangerous group is this that exists so

the NSA group also stands for NE shalev

and omry is actually an Israeli cyber

intelligence firm that creates the

Pegasus group so if you looked at this

website and you might have recognized it

before this is the NSO group it's

basically a group that helps government

agencies prevent and investigate

terrorism and crime to save thousands of

lives across the globe now here's the

thing about these organizations they

will always throw things like National

Security the fear of terrorism and all

this stuff in order to make it so that

they can justify their really invasive

militant spy wear to be spread around

the world and again when you always

bring this kind of in this level of

propaganda it's not always that cut and

dry now while they say the world's most

dangerous offenders communicate using

technology designed to Shield their

Communications while government

intelligence and agencies struggle to

collect evidence on their actions we're

here to Bri bridge that field and they

basically say they help maintain things

like Public Safety and there's no doubt

there's obviously like a fine line

clearly there are bad people using

iPhones Androids web services with

highly encrypted formats for nefarious

purposes but usually when you get the

government involved for Public Safety

often times the Liberties they take are

way in excess of what they should be now

obviously we know that bad people exist

in the world right but just you know if

you ever looked into the history of

government surveillance you'd find that

anytime acts like specifically we'll get

into one example the USA Patriot Act or

act similar to you'll find that honestly

to protect the human po the the uh the

civilian population from you know acts

of terrorism or dangerous you know uh

you know people right because evil

people exist they use the same uh

technology we do right they use the same

encrypted formats we do to protect our

priv Acy as they do you know with any

device even iPhones or Androids or any

modern device and obviously to expand

the level of surveillance and using

software that violates a lot of those

laws or a lot of those you know search

and seizure laws that we have that

prevent the government from

unnecessarily jumping into our devices

it's a very thin line you have to get

you know uh you know comfortable with

and the thing is it's never okay to

overextend the ability to search your uh

devices and violate your privacy even if

it is to protect you from bad people

because anytime you give the government

an inch they will often take 100 miles

it's not even a mile it is a 100 miles

all right the amount of privacy that we

have lost in the last 10 20 years

because of serious acts in the world is

absolutely jaw-dropping and again this

is sort of a Line in the Sand we all

have to draw to keep ourselves safe and

this is one thing where I can give apple

and I can give any company fighting

against this stuff uh you know my

unanimous you know support and

endorsement and they're not just being

sued by Apple they're also being sued

even very recently by Facebook or meta

simply because they are accused for

spying on WhatsApp users okay it's

insane the amount of people they go

after and it's not just one or two it's

alleged to be 1,400 people that this one

company is spying on with their malware

so what they use is something known as

Pegasus right and Pegasus is without a

doubt one of the most like it's their

secret sauce the gold in this entire

operation and the reason why it's so

sought after is because it's basically
