This is the boring, my data could be compromised exploit.

Edit: able to access now but I'll leave it here just in case.
It looks like I need to make some space for an update -.-
Is this fixed if using the iOS 17 Beta?
I'd assume in the next public/developer preview, yeah
I just relistened to Dark Net Diaries episode about this! (episode 100, titled NSO) Highly Recommend
Lockdown mode stops it.
