Scientists from the Technical University of Darmstadt have developed a program that can attack iOS devices even if they are turned off.. According to NV, this is possible due to the fact that some programs run in the background even when devices are turned off..

Any software, including malware, needs energy to work.. Modern devices are almost never completely turned off, because some technologies work in the background even when the smartphone is turned off.. These include Bluetooth, Ultra-Wideband, NFC.

These technologies use many services. In the iPhone, these are Car Key and Express Car, which help to keep confidential information about the owner of the device.. This data is stored in the Secure Element connected to the chips, and the user will not be able to change the hardware support..

It is very difficult to notice the operation of a malicious program, this can be done by a barely noticeable increase in power consumption.

Software developers have already shared their observations with Apple, they hope that the company will pay attention to the vulnerability of its services and fix it..

Earlier, a company that sells password cracking tools said that a vulnerability in Apple's T2 security chip allows access to passwords stored on the device.. New Method Takes Much More Time Than Standard Password Cracking Tools.
