How to crash any iPhone or iPad within WiFi range | Apple | Nobody Is Perfect | NO iOS Zone

"No iOS Zone" denial-of-service vulnerability could lead to your iPhone or iPad constantly crashing.


The researchers say that they first informed Apple of the problem in early October 2014, and that iOS 8.3 appears to resolve some of the issues they uncovered.


Chances are that this won’t be the last time that a serious denial of service flaw is found in iOS. Just last month, Apple released iOS 8.2 which fixed a flaw that allowed hackers to restart iPhones by sending them a maliciously-crafted Flash SMS.


More details of the “No iOS Zone” flaw can be found in the slide deck of the presentation given at the RSA conference.

Thousands of iOS apps left open to snooping thanks to SSL bug | CyberSecurity | Apple

Thousands of iOS apps left open to snooping thanks to SSL bug | CyberSecurity | Apple | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it

CyberSecurity Researchers have uncovered around 25,000 iOS apps that use old versions of a popular networking library, leaving them open to attackers on the same network viewing encrypted traffic.

The bug affects Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) code in AFNetworking, a networking library developers can use to build components of iOS apps. The framework has been updated three times in the past six weeks, addressing numerous SSL flaws that leave apps vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks.
