ITACS 5211: Introduction to Ethical Hacking

New iPhone Bug Gives Anyone Access to Your Private Photos

November 18, 2018 by Connor Fairman Leave a Comment

I guess there really are people out there who try really hard to find bugs in new software updates that come out for the iPhone and other major devices. Basically, the articles discusses how a hacker, within months of the new iOS software update’s release, figured out how someone could hack into a locked iPhone. I don’t really feel like this should make Apple look bad, though, and I don’t think there will be any repercussions for them. One of the first things you learn in computer science classes is that it’s impossible to make bug free code. There will always be edge cases where something unexpected or unintended will happen. So, should we celebrate people that try to find these bugs? Is it even worth it for Apple to spend the money to patch these bugs? There will always be more to be found.
