Step 1: Get copies of pictures of targets kid in bath from phone/SNS

Step 2: Manipulate pictures so that hash collides with CSAM

Step 3: Get pictures back on targets phone so they get scanned.

I don't have the skills or understanding of how the hashes are created but would this be possible?

>At first, you would need a real hash to even try (which are hidden).

These hashes are not generated by Apple and are not valid. (Must be generated by their new system) They are probably very strictly guarded.

They will be stored on every iOS from 15 version, somehow securely. This must limit the support of older iPhones.
