In April of last year, iOS hacker axi0mX came forward with the alloc8 untethered bootrom exploit for all models of the tried and true iPhone 3GS. But as of this weekend, he announced an update for the exploit that brings improvements to stability and usability.
As per one of the axi0mX’s most recent Tweets, the updated exploit does away with a bothersome three-second delay that typically transpires when waking the device from sleep:
Earlier today, Oct. 4, Bloomberg Businessweek published a lengthy story about apparent hacking that took place against some of the biggest companies in the United States at the hands of China, including Apple and Amazon. The iPhone maker has now gone on record to discount much of what the story said.Â
On Friday, Facebook announced it has uncovered a security breach that affected 50 million users. As a result, those users plus an additional 40 million, are being asked to log back into their accounts.
Following a Gizmodo report this week alleging Facebook is giving advertisers access to your shadow contact information, the firm's confirmed that it's been using the phone number registered with their two-factor authentication (2FA) system in order to target you with ads.
If you’ve had the luxury of enjoying a jailbreak in the last couple of years, then it likely came in flavors of Yalu or Electra. But rewind back to the days of iOS 9.3.3, and the name Pangu might sound familiar.
Although it’s been quite a while since we’ve heard of anything new from the Pangu jailbreak team, it certainly seems as if they’re still tinkering with iOS to this day.
A flaw in Apple's Device Enrollment Program (DEP) allows an attacker to exploit private information on iPhone, iPad and Mac devices used by schools and businesses and obtain private details such as an organization's address, phone number and email addresses.
Earlier this week, renowned security researcher Ian Beer announced plans to drop an iOS 11.4.1-compatible exploit to the public. But as it would seem, he’s not the only person packing exploits for Apple's mobile operating system.
Joining the recent exploit-centric commotion is a security researcher by the name of Brandon Azad, who just recently released an iOS 11.2.6-11.4-compatible exploit on GitHub along with some handy mitigation bypasses.
The recently released iOS 12 software update is packed with new features. One of those features, however, was never highlighted when iOS 12 was first announced in June, nor is it being promoted on Apple's iOS 12 page. Instead, it's only mentioned on the company's updated iTunes policy page. The feature is an all-new device trust rating that Apple's assigning to everyone who uses an iPhone to make purchases.
Recently, Apple internally documented a brand-new data recovery process for salvaging data on Macs that utilize its secure T2 chip when the logic board is partially functional or broken.
Passwords saved in iCloud Keychain automatically appear as an autofill option when you're logging in to an app or website. However, if you use third-party password managers like 1Password, Dashlane, LastPass, or something else, then you have to allow filling in details from these apps before you can quickly pop your credentials while logging in.
This tutorial shows you how to enable and use the AutoFill Passwords feature with third-party password manager apps on your iPhone and iPad.
Security researcher Ian Beer has become somewhat of a legend in the jailbreak community recently. Albeit not directly related to the development of recent iOS 11 jailbreak tools like Electra, his mighty iOS exploits helped make them possible.
Despite all the contributions Beer has made thus far, he doesn’t appear to be slowing down one bit. Beer announced Wednesday morning via Twitter that he’d be releasing some new iOS 11.4.1-centric exploits.
Macs come with a Guest Mode right from the factory, but the iPhone and iPad do not. This becomes an issue when you’re asked to share your device with friends and family, as it puts your own privacy at risk.
But all these concerns stop a new jailbreak tweak called LendMyPhone by iOS developer Luke Muris, which brings a well-planned Guest Mode to jailbroken handsets.
