Apple Security Holes - iPhone and iPod Touch Users Beware
Apple users used to love mocking Windows users when it came to security issues, however the upsurge in the popularity of the Mac platform, combined with an ever expanding range of products is not without its downfalls.
Earlier this morning Secunia reported a serious issue that affected users of both the iPhone and the iPod touch.
The solution? Simply run an update.
But is it that simple?
Well it might not be if you are running a cracked Apple iPhone. Due to Apple's rather odd marketing / sales strategy, which favours the creation of monopolies, a lot of people have been buying Apple iPhones to use with their "normal" SIMs...
And there I was toying with the idea of picking up an iPhone this week ...
Maybe I'll just get some nice games for my Apple MacBook Pro :)
Age of Empires anyone?
