The vulnerability was discovered by Beer in the iOS 2018 beta…
After extensive research, Bier was able to find the code associated with the AWDL, identify the vulnerability, and remotely target it using a laptop. Raspberry Pi 4B and a pair of Wi-Fi adapters. It took him six months to develop the exploit, but by the time it was completed, he was able to hack any iPhone in the radio zone, run arbitrary code on it, and steal all user data. He didn’t even need to be on the same network with his smartphone…
Fortunately, Apple patched the vulnerability in May by releasing iOS 12.4.7 and iOS 13.3.1… The company said the vast majority of users are already using the new iOS versions, which have been patched.
