And don't for a second think that someone isn't going to be hit by the attack — because huge amounts of money have already been spent discovering how to do it.
 
Last month we told you how a group of Chinese hackers had found a way to jailbreak devices running iOS 9, opening the door for those who want to install unapproved apps onto iPhones and iPads.
 
There was, however, one big problem with Pangu Team's jailbreak — it required physical access to the device that you wanted to break into.

Requiring physical access to your target's device dramatically reduces the chances of successful snooping.
