Apple and Cisco on Monday said they're partnering with global professional services and insurance companies Aon and Allianz on a cyber risk management solution for businesses.
Apple's software engineering head Craig Federighi reportedly told key engineers at a meeting earlier this month that the company would be pushing back some planned iOS 12 and macOS 10.14 features into next year in order to focus on software performance and stability.
There’ve been countless jailbreak tools for iPhones and iPads over the years, but we’ve never really seen one for the Apple Watch since it first debuted in 2015. On the other hand, that could change very soon.
iOS developer PsychoTea published the first beta of an Apple Watch-oriented jailbreak tool to GitHub on Friday. Dubbed OverCl0ck, it’s an early prototype and could potentially change how users interact with Apple’s premier wearable device.
Just a couple of days ago, security researcher Russ Cox made headlines after purportedly discovering a kernel-level exploit on iOS 11.2-11.2.1 devices. But as it seems, the ensuing excitement may have gotten a little bit out of hand.
Apple’s own security release notes for iOS 11.2.5 cited Cox’s bug as a means of executing arbitrary code on stock devices, but according to the researcher himself, it was nothing more than a memory corruption and Apple may have over-credited his finding.
Security researcher Ian Beer made headlines last year after finding and releasing a tfp0 exploit for iOS 11.0-11.1.2, which powers jailbreak tools like Electra and LiberiOS, just to name a few. But now there’s a new kernel exploit in town, and it impacts later iterations of iOS.
Citing Apple’s security content web page, Tuesday’s iOS 11.2.5 update patches a kernel-level exploit discovered by security researcher Russ Cox, and it purportedly works on iOS 11.2-11.2.1.
On Tuesday, January 23, 2017, Apple released iOS 11.2.5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Chief leak investigator Lee Freedman has departed Apple for a similar role at Facebook.
Some people take their privacy more seriously than others, and a new iMessage extension dubbed MsgL0ck by iOS developer Simon Andersson takes that sentiment into consideration.
MsgL0ck lets the sender require authentication from the iMessage recipient before they can read the message. In Apple-speak, this means providing a fingerprint for Touch ID or a facial scan for Face ID (or a passcode if the recipient has neither).
A fix for the ChaiOS bug that lets pranksters freeze iPhones, iPads and Macs by sending a maliciously crafted link as an attachment in a text or iMessage will be delivered next week.
Earlier this week, an iOS developer discovered that a malicious link texted to iPhones, iPads and Macs can cause freezes and restarts by overloading Mac and iOS's text rendering engine with several megabytes of text, consisting mostly of Unicode cascading accent marks.
A new type of malicious link that exploits an annoying bug in iOS and macOS can cause an unsuspecting user's iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac to restart or freeze when received through the Messages app or opened in Safari.
