An internet security watchdog group called Citizen Lab said on Monday a cyber surveillance company based in Israel developed a tool to break into Apple iPhones with a never-before-seen technique.

周一，一家名为公民实验室的互联网安全监督组织表示，总部位于以色列的一家网络监控公司开发了一种工具，使用一种前所未见的技术侵入苹果手机。

It said the technique has been in use since February.

该公司表示，这项技术自2月份以来一直在使用。

The discovery is important because of the critical nature of the vulnerability.

这一发现之所以重要，是因为该漏洞的危害性。

Citizen Lab says it requires no user interaction and affects all versions of Apple's operating systems except for those updated Monday.

公民实验室表示，它不需要用户交互，并且涉及苹果操作系统的所有版本，除了周一更新的版本。

The vulnerability developed by the Israeli firm named NSO defeats security systems designed by Apple in recent years.

Apple confirmed Citizen Lab's finding and said it fixed the vulnerability in Monday's software update.

苹果证实了公民实验室的发现，并表示已在周一的软件更新中修复了该漏洞。

In a statement to Reuters, NSO did not confirm or deny that it was behind the technique.

在发给路透社的一份声明中，NSO既没有证实也没有否认它是该技术的幕后黑手。

Citizen Lab said it found the malware on the phone of an unnamed Saudi activist and said the phone had been infected with spyware in February.

公民实验室表示，他们在一名未透露姓名的沙特活动人士的手机上发现了这款恶意软件，并表示该手机曾在2月份被间谍软件入侵。

It's unknown how many other users may have been infected.
