> Apple patched the bugs quickly in February 2019 so everyone who has updated their iPhone since then is protected. Rebooting the iPhone wiped the malware but the data had already been taken.
Why in the world did they silently fix the issue and remove the malware? I'm fine with all of this, but shouldn't they disclose to the user "hey, some very sensitive data from your device has been taken. It is passwords, messages, etc." so that users could at least try to mitigate the impact somewhat (contact their contacts, change passwords, maybe change numbers, etc.)?
