Apple often boasts that its phones are real strengths when it comes to resisting any hacker attack. They recently claimed that an Android phone is up to 47 times more vulnerable to hackers than Apple phones. But it seems that it is not that difficult to access an iPhone 13 without having any permission to do so. At least that is what a series of hackers have shown us who have gathered in a contest that is basically a competition to see which hacker is capable of committing the most notable intrusion into a foreign device. And without a doubt the jewel in the crown was the iPhone 13 , the new Apple mobile. Well, it only took 15 seconds for these hackers to access the iPhone 13, something that we do not know if the owners of these phones should be concerned about.

How have they done it?

It is evident that these hackers are not going to reveal to us how they have been able to access an iPhone 13 in 15 seconds, but what is evident is that it is work that has taken months of development before. Specifically, these hackers have gathered in the Chinese city of Chengdu, which every year hosts a meeting of these hackers where each one shows off their computer skills. Logically, the expectation is always high when it is promised that nothing less than Apple's flagship will be accessible in such a short time. And that is what the Kunkun Lab team, responsible for being able to access an iPhone 13 in only 15 seconds .

Although we don't know how they did it, we do know where these hackers were able to access the phone, and it was thanks to a vulnerability in the Safari browser that they were able to access the iPhone in such a short time. It is not the first time that we know of some type of vulnerability in this browser that endangers the security of the phone. In addition, it is not that it was a privately tested hack, even by those who should verify such a feat, but rather that the CO of these laboratories carried out the process in front of all the attendees in just those 15 seconds. The hacked iPhone 13 also had the latest version of Apple's operating system, iOS 15.0.2 , so they have not also looked for especially vulnerable system versions.

Far from keeping the details of the hack to themselves for illicit purposes, they have stated that they will share everything discovered in this hack with Apple , so that it can close the vulnerability and make its phones more secure. Logically, the subsistence of this type of company is based precisely on the exploitation of vulnerabilities that have not been detected by the manufacturers, receiving a reward for it, which is what will also happen in this case. Therefore, no, there is no need to worry about this, since it will precisely serve to make iPhones more secure and prevent someone from taking advantage of that vulnerability.
