Such exploits, once discovered, are fixed at high priority by operating system makers, giving them sometimes short windows of utility. (I am not a lawyer, and that’s not legal advice.) That’s very, very hard, and any exploit that’s sufficiently good at being entirely invisible is likely also good enough for a hacker to sell for a million dollars, with the advantage that the sale is probably legal in most places, and thus better than distributing malware that steals financial credentials or holds files for ransom. If an attacker of any sort creates software designed to attack your system quietly, it typically tries to prevent security software and any other kind of inspection from noticing. That’s not quite an axiom of security, but it’s generally true. Any malware powerful enough to overcome the defenses that Apple built to resist incursions may also be powerful enough to hide its traces.
