Interesting to hear such things discussed at that level. Turning it off is suggested to get rid of compromised background processes that might be spying on users. Obviously, this only help against malware that isn't permanently installed on a phone.

    There's actually a 0-day exploit affecting safari on every single apple device right now, and not a gentle one. There is a fix, but you have to update iOS to get it.

    Also a MAJOR 0-day affecting teams, but the exploit is exploiting core app functionality so Microsoft don't want to fix it.
