How can you use it for targeted attacks?
This is what would need to happen:
1. Attacker generates images that collide with known CSAM material in the database (the NeuralHashes of which, unless I'm mistaken, are not available)
2. Attacker sends that to innocent person
3. Innocent person accepts and stores the picture
4. Actually, need to run step 1-3 at least 30 times
5. Innocent person has iCloud syncing enabled
6. Apple's CSAM detection then flags these, and they're manually reviewed
7. Apple reviewer confuses a featureless blob of gray with CSAM material, several times
Note that other cloud providers have been scanning uploaded photos for years. What has changed wrt targeted attacks against innocent people?
