Apple and Google have launched software updates to protect their users from a hacking campaign. The hacking is reported to target a number of users.
Google on December 10, 2025 released patches for a number of security holes in Chrome. The company noted that one of the holes was being actively exploited by hackers before it was patched.
Initially, Google did not provide further details regarding the incident. However, on Friday, December 12, Google updated its release page with important additional information.
Google revealed that the security hole was discovered by Apple's security engineering team and the Google Threat Analysis Group (TAG). The findings indicate that the hacking that occurred was orchestrated by a government-sponsored hacker.
The reason is that the level of sophistication of the attack is very high. At the same time, Apple also released security updates for all of its products. These updates are spread to iPhones, iPads, Macs, Vision Pro, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and Safari.
English:
According to the security notice for iPhones and iPads, Apple has patched two critical bugs. Apple said they were aware of this issue, "possibly being exploited in a highly sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals."
This is the language that Apple uses to indicate that some of its customers have been targeted by hackers exploiting zero-day security holes. Zero-day is a weakness that the software maker did not know about at the time it was exploited.
Cases like this often involve government hackers using hacking tools and spyware. These tools are made by companies such as NSO Group or Paragon Solutions to target journalists, dissidents, and human rights activists.
