24 hours is what it took Apple to eliminate a security issue that we discovered yesterday and allowed access data such as pictures and contacts without unlocking the terminal. This is the solution that corrects the security failure iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.
With smartphones almost as or more powerful than a computer, the issue of security has evolved as much as the technology inside. Every time we have better phones, so advanced that evolution is obvious when compared not with the prehistoric and Nokia more than a decade, but with models 2-3 years. But couple this technological evolution has increased the vulnerability of these, as demonstrated yesterday infection Google Store with over 100 apps corrupted by a virus, or the same security flaw we saw in the latest Apple terminal.
Touch ID, the access key
And it is interesting to note that the security breach that yesterday was discovered in models iPhone 6S and 6S Plus did not come itself given topics hacking or stories hacks, but for a vulnerability that nobody had taken into account and he demonstrated one of the pillars with which the smartphone had been publicized: Its technology 3D Touch, the same that allowed circumvent the closure of the lock screen and use Siri to access images and even contact list of the iPhone without unlock or even install them weird stuff.
This is another problem that was added to those already suffered Apple with the latest version of its operating system, which already had failures depending on which devices with iOS 9.3 first and then the fix that pulled the 9.3.1. This time, instead of opting for another software update 9.3.2 theoretically call as we expected and which would have been the second in a week, the truth is that Apple has preferred to opt for a secondary basis, through a server that gives who slammed the door again try to use this way to access the private data of the terminal owner.
Thus, if we try to run the blockade using the known exploit, which made use of the social network Twitter and messages with customers of valid email to open a rear door to the above data, the iPhone itself 6S or 6S Plus will ask us verify identity to move forward, closing access if the check is invalid. So if you have an iPhone to this model, the bug Siri is over and now you can be more relaxed.
