Saint in Paradise Posted 20 September, 2013 Share Posted 20 September, 2013 Thought I would post this in Lounge as more people with iOS7 will see it rather than in Technology section. ( Thought it was only Microsoft that suffered glitches not the mighty Apple lot ) Two security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Apple's new mobile operating system, less than 24 hours after its launch. One flaw concerns a user's ability to recover their data if a device has been stolen. The much-vaunted "Find my iPhone" feature can be disabled by a thief simply by putting the iPhone or iPad into airplane mode, preventing the device from communicating. In iOS7 this can be done even when the phone is locked with a passcode, as the voice-activated assistant Siri can be instructed to carry out the task. The other flaw is potentially even more serious - allowing users' email and social networking accounts to be hijacked even when the user has locked and password-protected their phone. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24170429 .
