I thought I heard from Apple drones that this stuff cannot happen on Apple products.

The iOS 7.0.6 update appears to be available for all iPhones, iPods, and iPads running iOS 7. In addition, Ars Technica writes that iOS 6.1.6 has also been patched to address the SSL vulnerability. TUAW highly recommends that you install the appropriate update on your iOS devices as soon as possible.

Apple right now reminds Me of Disney after Walt died. they seem to be losing their way without the boss up front. Just an observation.

Oops

[Balding_Eagle]

This only happened because Microsoft owns a part of Apple.

It IS Microsofts’ fault.

I would assume that by “hackers” that would include the NSA.

Can’t be true. Swordmaker said only Microsoft has weak stuff like this.

[for-q-clinton]

Hey swordmaker I saw on the news where they said this is also impacting OSX (Mac books) and that there is no fix yet for it.

Please tell me this can’t be true. Hell Microsoft hasn’t had a screw up this bad in over a decade.

[Swordmaker]

make certain you update you iOS devices immediately. There is an important security update to close an encryption hole that could expose you to malicious hackers seeking your data. —PING!

Apple iOS Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Apple says security flaw could allow hackers to beat iPhone encryption

Bet you one dollar that 'flaw' was designed and provided by the NSA, and Apple dutifully installed it.

> I thought I heard from Apple drones that this stuff cannot happen on Apple products.

You thought and heard wrong. Only the Apple haters say that bogus crap. Apple fans are often over-amped but they're generally not delusional, and they know that everybody makes mistakes, including Apple.

It cracks me up no end, that the folks who spend the most time spreading the story that Apple products are flawless are the very ones who hate Apple. You'd think they'd have learned by now, but apparently not. You're increasing Apple's profit margin every time you spout that silliness. (Not that I care, I don't own stock in any of these damn tech companies.)
