SMS Bug Can Allow Hackers to Turn an iPhone’s Mic On










The news comes via a PC Advisor report citing Miller as saying that Apple is already working to fix the iPhone vulnerability in question. In the simplest terms, the bug found by Miller could allow an attacker to remotely install and run unsigned software code with root access to the phone. The security expert could not disclose too much information about the vulnerability, citing an agreement with Apple. Usually, in such a situation, those who find a bug and report it to the company responsible for the software must wait until a patch is made available, so they can go public with it.By Filip Truta, Apple News Ed
