Warning is Issued For Apple's 1.4 Billion iPad And iPhone Users !🤭
Apple is having a very bad week. Just days after Face ID was hacked and the company’s “user-hostile” iPhone battery practiceswere exposed, an extraordinary story of the Apple neglect has resulted in a warning every iPhone and iPad user needs to know about it.
In short : Apple got sloppy. As AppleInsider explains that “the bug has been considered unimportant because it was believed it could only be triggered by an unknown application accessing database, and in a closed system like iOS, there are no unknown apps. However, Check Point’s researchers then managed to make a trusted app , send the code to trigger this bug and exploit it.”
Yes, it’s a lazy oversight with potentially serious consequences. For now, saving grace is hackers need access to your unlocked iPhone or iPad to exploit it but this may change. After all just last month six flaws were founds in iMessage which allowed hackers to read your files from anywhere and one of them remains unpatched to this day.
