Apple released iOS 11.1 just a couple of days ago on Halloween; however, security researchers have already managed to hack this new iOS software. The security researchers from Tencent Keen Security Lab managed to exploit an iPhone 7 running iOS 11.1 at the Pwn2Own contest in Tokyo.
The Keen Lab team was able to successfully load a rogue application and have it persist through a reboot with a WiFi exploit that used a total of four different vulnerabilities to execute. In addition to that, they also managed to hack iOS’ Safari browser, which apparently took them just a few seconds to successfully demonstrate their exploit.
