  • Hallo Andi,

    If there's a particular MIME type, then that could be blocked, but I saw nothing in the two articles I read that gave any clues.  Have you started a case with Sophos Support?

    Cheers - Bob

  • The guy who found it explains quite in detail at https://blog.zecops.com/vulnerabilities/youve-got-0-click-mail/

    Should not be too difficult to search for those strings in Mails before delivering....

    Indicators of Compromise

  • We have to initiate support through our partner because we have no support contract for direct communication with Sophos.

    I became concerned that there is no official statement from Sophos regarding the detection.

    On April 23, the BSI as the Federal Cyber Security Authority warned of the use of the app and recommends:
    Delete the "Mail" app or deactivate the synchronization.


    Two weeks later we have neither a solution from Apple, nor any information from Sophos as to whether there is a detection.

  • It is funny.

    You have to pay for a license to use Email-Security, but If you want to get any information about the thing you pay for, you need to pay again.....

    I think Andi and me are not the only peoble having Astaro Sohpos and IPhones. Can somebody file a request ?

     

    And for Sophos it would be good marketing if they coudl say: Our clients using Iphones are safe.

  • Hi Jasmine,

    we run also Sonicwall NSA firewall systems where we can contact the support directly. We have to use the Sophos support of the partner, who only forwards the request anyway, but then sends us an invoice for the service.
