When it comes to the mobile operating system, we give two thumbs up for Apple’s iOS. It’s one of the most secure mobile operating systems ever launched in the market. However, is it really that good?It’s way better than Android, which is the leading mobile operating system in the market in terms of comparison. Apple vs. Android, the battle is ongoing. The competition is tight. But no matter how much secure Apple makes their iOS; developers will always find loopholes. Somewhere, there has to be a hole and that makes it more challenging for them.
However, it doesn’t stop there. Couple of days ago, a news from Forbes circulated on web pages that there are new security vulnerabilities that could be sold to security agencies for a good sum of money. What’s more, these vulnerabilities can even be used for jailbreak or simply hack your iOS.
That’s how they handle business, and it goes with this new vulnerability shown by a Swedish company on how to hack your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and grab all the information from the devices in just 10 minutes. They use sophisticated in-house software called XRY.
This is how FBI, Local Police department and other secret agencies exploit your device to get all the information they need about your communications even if you have a PASSCODE protected device. Wondering what they can get from your device? The list goes like this: phone call records, messages, SMS/MMS history, locations, key strokes. They can access these in just ten minutes.
I was about to watch the video from the source, but it is not available anymore.
Guys, this is actually alarming. Anyone can grab your phone and access everything even your personal details easily. This vulnerability is beyond Apple’s reach. The security flaw can even work in DFY mode, and it can’t be fixed.
What are your thoughts about these security flaws?
