What are the involved websites?!!

I don't understand why an article about this wouldn't list some of the sites in question so people can have an idea of whether or not they may have been compromised.

The problem was solved last February. Nothing to do with Safari.

It was solved in February because the Google team told Apple about it - and it did exploit vulnerabilities in iPhone Safari

(Apple forces all web browsers on iPhone to use Safari engine, so all web browsers on iPhone run on top of Safari engine, so all web browsers on iPhone were compromised too)

So much for Apple's recent Security Promotion Adverts....

This calls for... "Bad Apple!"

Android phones have had more hacks.

Yes, Apple drop the ball here, but its true, Android has much more issues than iOS. But no platform is 100% safe thats the bottom line

Actually it turns out that this is not the full picture, see this youtube video. It wasn't just Apple, but Windows 10 and android. It "seems" that Google deliberately didn't reveal the whole picture to make their devices seem better (??) ... see the video
