Thread: IOS9

Dilbert reckons I should up-grade to this. Why?

IoS9 - codename "turtleneck"

iPhones, iPads BRICKED by iOS 9's 'slide-to-upgrade' bug

Fanbois flustered, furious; faulty firmware fingered

Apple has published a workaround after some iOS users have been left stranded in the middle of the iOS 9 update process.
The Cupertino giant has acknowledged multiple complaints that devices are unable to progress past the "Slide to Upgrade" screen when moving to the latest version of iOS. Apple's remedy: wipe your device and hope you made a backup.

iPhones, iPads BRICKED by iOS 9's 'slide-to-upgrade' bug ? The Register

All I've heard from my sad iphone wielding mates is that it's a disaster.

My old iPhone 4 upgraded seamlessly

Why are you looking at Dil's bollocks, Charles - that's what you need to ask yerself! You never used to look at men's bollocks before you got that iGay, Charles. Just sayin...

If you look closely on the pillows in your guest bungalow Charley, you should be able to see that B impression a few times, unless Nige's head has ironed them out.

You've probably got an infection now.

Millions of Apple device users are being warned about a series of potentially dangerous apps following the first major recorded attack on the company’s App Store.

Some of the most popular products on Apple’s App Store, including messaging service WeChat, were found to be affected by malware known as XcodeGhost that can steal user’s private information.

The malware is mainly impacting users in China, but many of the affected apps are recorded as having a global reach, causing Apple and the original app developers to scramble to get the infected products offline.

“We’ve removed the apps from the App Store that we know have been created with this counterfeit software,” Apple spokesperson told Reuters. “We are working with the developers to make sure they’re using the proper version of Xcode to rebuild their apps.”

Apple declined to say how many apps it had uncovered, and is still to reply to a request for comment from TechWeekEurope.

XcodeGhost was able to penetrate a number of the apps by posing as a modified version of Xcode, the software used by developers to create iOS and Mac software such as apps.

The malware can allow affected apps to start stealing data about users, including sending fake alerts to infected devices that trick their owners into revealing passwords and other information.

News of the hacked Xcode first appeared on developer forum on Chinese site Weibo, before being further investigated by security researcher Claud Xiao.

“According to one developer’s report, XcodeGhost has already launched phishing attacks to prompt a dialog asking victims to input their iCloud passwords,” said Xiao, who works for security firm Palo Alto Networks.

“Based on this new information, we believe XcodeGhost is a very harmful and dangerous malware that has bypassed Apple’s code review and made unprecedented attacks on the iOS ecosystem. The techniques used in this attack could be adopted by criminal and espionage focused groups to gain access to iOS devices.”

Apple has traditionally prided itself on its stringent security practices, but such standing has left it open to attacks in the past.

Last month, security researchers found adware that exploits a previously known privilege escalation flaw in Mac OS X to install itself in a user’s computer.

And back in November, Palo Alto also uncovered a new form of malware, dubbed WireLurker, which targeted Apple users in China running either Mac OS or iOS through trojanised and repackaged OS X applications.

If you read that article Charley, you'll see the breach has been found and it mainly affected the Chinese anyway.
Is your Bluetooth on Charley?

IF IMPROVED BATTERY life and a smarter Siri aren’t enough to convince you to upgrade to iOS 9, there’s now another incentive to trade up sooner rather than later: To avoid having your iPhone wirelessly hijacked by any miscreant within Bluetooth range.

The Hack
On Wednesday, Australian security researcher and consultant Mark Dowd revealed that iOS 9 includes a patch for a security vulnerability he warned Apple about just over a month ago. The attack, which he demonstrates in the video below, would allow someone to install malicious apps on iPhones and Macs via their Bluetooth-enabled Airdrop filesharing feature. Anyone in range of a target device with the feature enabled could plant malware on the phone or PC, even if the victim didn’t tap “accept” for the offered file. “It doesn’t matter if they reject it or accept it, the vulnerability is already triggered by the time they can react to it,” says Dowd.

Mobile merchant terminal company iZettle has warned its users that the Bluetooth issues within Apple's operating system could seriously affect payment processes, and has strongly warned merchants using its kit not to upgrade to iOS9 until it says so.
