Security holes unearthed in Apple's iOS7

[Saint in Paradise]

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.

They reckon a third of those that could have updated in the first 24hrs .. I didn't, I'm not really not that bothered, am I missing anything?
