This is an exploit from an adversary that reversed undocumented MMIO registers to completely bypass kernel write protections. Do you honestly believe that disabling iMessage would keep them out? They’d just field the exploit using Exchange or HomeKit or any of the dozen other ways there are to get content onto the devices.

Maybe, maybe not. But it is still a testament to their poor security posture that iMessage was enabled in corporate devices, when it is not part of their software catalog.
Kaspersky has tried to publicly switch blame to Apple twice in a row now. Maybe it is time for them to take some.
