Sophisticated hackers may be attacking Apple Inc. iPhones by exploiting a previously unknown flaw in the smartphone’s email software, according to a digital-security company that has investigated the incidents.

Attacks on the devices that traditionally have enjoyed a solid reputation for safeguarding personal data date back at least two years and would have been virtually undetectable by victims, Zuk Avraham, chief executive of ZecOps Inc., the San Francisco-based cybersecurity company that detected and analyzed the hacks told The Wall Street Journal.
