Five months on from the release of iOS 8, and following six rounds of bugfixes, Apple's flagship mobile platform that powers almost three out of four iPhone and iPads is still riddled with bugs.
I'm just going to come out and say it - this is a mess. If we were talking about cosmetic stuff like a badly laid out user interface or poor selection of wallpapers then I could overlook the issues, but they aren't. These are bugs relating to core systems such as Wi-Fi, cellular connectivity, Bluetooth, and stability and performance.
These are show-stopping bugs. These are bugs that quite frankly should have been sorted before iOS 8 was released, and definitely should have been pinned down after the first couple of updates.
But they aren't.

L’iPhone 5S a été mis à mal par une équipe de Corée du Sud, qui a réussi à profiter d'une combinaison de deux bugs dans Safari pour en prendre le contrôle. Le Samsung Galaxy S5 non plus n'a pas réisté aux assauts des hackers. Deux équipes ont profité de failles dans la gestion du protocole NFC pour en prendre le contrôle. le Nexus 5 a lui aussi été piraté via NFC, grâce à une technique étonnante, qui a consisté à forcer un appairage Bluetooth entre deux appareils.

Originalmeldung: Der Trojaner Wirelurker hat wohl bereits viele iPhones und iPads angegriffen: Sicherheitsforscher der Firma Palo Alto Networks haben eine iOS-Malware namens Wirelurker entdeckt, die sich über eine App verbreitet und schon hunderttausende User infiziert haben könnten.
Seinen Ursprung hat der Trojaner wohl in China, die Entdecker berichten, dass anfangs über 400 Apps im Maiyadi App Store, einem alternativen Appstore für OS X, infiziert wurden. Diese Anwendungen greifen dann die iPhones und iPads der Opfer an. Da die betroffenen Apps bislang über 350.000 Mal heruntergeladen wurden, ist die Zahl der theoretisch infizierten Apple-Geräte entsprechend groß.

UPDATED: The iOS 7 lock screen can be bypassed with a series of gesture techniques, despite the passcode. While apps are blurred out, a major Camera app bug exists, which can allow photos to be edited, deleted, and shared with others.
Passwords are like undergarments: it’s good to keep them hidden, and you should change them often. Likewise, if someone sees your password it may leave you feeling exposed and uncomfortable. As we ...

Eine Schwachstelle im Apple-Betriebssystem iOS könnte dazu führen, dass Kurznachrichten an die falsche Nummer geschickt werden. Der Blogger Pod2g will Hinweise für eine Sicherheitslücke in iOS ausgemacht haben, die den Versand von SMS-Nachrichten auf dem iPhone betrifft. So wäre es möglich, Kurznachrichten im PDU-Format zu verfassen, deren Zieladresse sich über einen editierbaren Abschnitt namens PDU (Protocol Description Unit) ändern ließe. Antwortet der Nutzer auf eine solche SMS, dann könnte die Antwort nicht an den ehemaligen Absender, sondern an ein fremdes Smartphone geschickt werden.

According to Palo Alto Networks, WireLurker, running on an OS X system, can install either downloaded third-party applications or automatically generate malicious applications onto a USB-connected iOS device, regardless of whether it is jailbroken.
The malware is able to install malicious and infected programs on non-jailbroken iOS devices, according to the report, by using enterprise provisioning techniques, thus appearing to be an in-house application. The user is presented with a confirmation dialog box such as the one shown below, but otherwise the application will behave the same as an uninfected one.

Des chercheurs en sécurité affirment avoir découvert une nouvelle famille de malwares, lesquels peuvent mettre à mal les appareils d'Apple.
[S5091662W200]]
Afin d'éviter toute propagation de virus ou chevaux de Troie, Apple contrôle très strictement ses systèmes d'exploitation et plus précisément les applications publiées au sein de leurs plateformes de téléchargement respectives. Toutefois le cabinet Palo Alto Networks affirme avoir repéré une nouvelle attaque.
Baptisé WireLurker, le malware en question a été inséré au sein de 467 applications spécialement conçues pour OS X et disponibles sur le répertoire de téléchargements chinois Maiydi App Store, une alternative au Mac App Store officiel. Sur ces six derniers mois, ces 467 applications ont comptabilisé 356 104 téléchargements ; elles ont donc affecté plusieurs centaines de milliers de machines;

The tech giant fixes a security problem in iOS that affected encrypted connections. Apple on Friday released the latest update of its mobile operating system. It's of note because it fixes an SSL connection issue, an important encryption vulnerability.
SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is one of the most basic forms of encrypting Internet traffic. Without it, almost anybody can see what you're doing online. According to Apple's fulldescription of the update, the software previously had problems validating the authenticity of the connection, and the software fix restores steps that were missing in the validation process.
