Apple is outstanding.....after going through three POS toshiba and sony windows based laptops, I finally went to the dark side and have never looked back. No email hackings, not one trojan or malware virus surfing p#*n....

I appreciate the info as people on open networks are at risk, the flaw is in authentication from server to device. Where you will have a problem is if for instance you are in starbucks and are using public wifi, then yes someone can "slip in" between you and the server and can steal or modify emails or any information being sent. Avoid using safari, as for now it is the only browser affected. Apple mail is also vulnerable.

I don't doubt him at all but why not use safari or use public wifi ? Just update your device so you can use all the features and be secure. That is all I am saying. I posted this just to help the brothers and sisters out here. I know the severity of this security issue and that is why it is such a big deal. If you don't trust me do some research and you will see just how serious this is.

Bump for night crew.

Updated my Iphone and Ipad earlier today.

Mirrorlure7m · 02-23-2014, 06:37 PM

The worst part is this bug has been in all iOS versions since 6.0 in 2013. So this is very serious. Thankfully it is now fixed. That is why everyone needs to update. I think Apple's stock will take a big hit tomorrow .

AAPL trading flat in early market action on average volume.

I'm curious, Joel.
Are you reporting what you've read? Or do you have a background in IT?

This is what I read and also have done research and contacted a coder who used to work for apple and he explained how serious this really is. Explaining people in Sochi at the Olympics if they use a public wifi can have all there info stolen from them including credit card, personal info, passwords due to websites who posted it is all over the internet where the code was screwed up. There is actually a website that will tell you if your device is vulnerable. http://gotofail.com
