Not moving the goal post.don't move the goal posts after i start with the ether.
You posted an article that is based off assumptions.
No examples in the wild.
So yes, any system can be compromised but how about an actual example of it?
And as I said I haven’t touched an android phone since 2008.
So what’s your point?
T-Mobile gave it to me when I traded in my Blackberry Pearl. I gave it back 2 months later and got another Berry. Trash build quality and crunchy O/S that crashed and froze far too for the to be a reliable daily driver.
Frankly, Android didn’t begin to even to hold a candle to iOS until after they bought out and brought over the U/I & U/X team from WebOS from HP/Palm.
nigga, the first android???
the first iphone was just as shitty. lol
you sound ridiculous.
Are you comparing an application BUG that can only be experienced under a unique set of conditions to an O/S level system HACK that breaches security.
Just stop. Stop before you continue embarrassing yourself with these reaches.
I can already imagine the response to this.
i am not even going to respond.
dude stopped even trying to sound logical.
iPhone 2G was a benchmark, industry changing, world shifting device.
Calling it “just as shitty and the 1st Android phone” is about a deludedly stupid as calling the first Ferrari “just as shitty” as the first Yugo.
Again Android phones couldn’t hold a candle to iPhones until about 2012-13.
That was from fishing and the chics dumb enough to click a link sent in a email.
man, i was working in the industry at that point.
i still love windows mobile. i wish m$ had truly invested in the tech. that first iphone was awful tech that had great marketing.
the first iphone was a toy. windows mobile was a tool.
You stopped sounding logical when you compared a bug to a code injection hack that takes over, deletes and replaces your apps while controlling the launcher!
That’s near kernel level control of your device. They’re through 2 layers of security.
But if Apple is pushing the notion that there phone/operating system is so secure and protected the user is gonna feel that they are safe from such things happening to them. They are making commercials and ads saying how your “privacy” is guaranteed but then when something happens it’s the “dumb users” fault
. People trying to push this fake notion that IPhone is so much better but I had a iPhone and everytime i’d go in the Apple store there’d be long lines of people saying something is wrong with theirs and needing to get it fixed
The MSFT phone’s were a friggin joke. I had the Motorola Q.
Again, you’re being pathetically silly claiming “it was a toy.”
Call it a toy if you want. Then it’s the toy that shaped and defined not only the mobile device industry but the entire world, effectively ended four entrenched mobile device companies (RIM, Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson) and made EVERY company follow their lead.
You serious?
The title of the article clearly says "bug."
This isn't even a reach, it makes no sense to compare to an infected app on illegitimate software stores.
The victims were sent phishing emails not notifications, the emails addresses were not leaked from apple. IF you are getting emails from Nigerian princes asking you to western union them money, or some fake email trying to get your password has nothing to do with AppleBut if Apple is pushing the notion that there phone/operating system is so secure and protected the user is gonna feel that they are safe from such things happening to them.

It was the dumb users fault for giving out their personal information.
Wouldn't it make sense for you to hear people in the store asking for help since that is/was the only place to get an iPhone fixed?
Funny how the thread is about infected Android devices but people are taking shots at the iPhone.
There is no company in the world that can find all the permutations of stupidity one can engage in.But if Apple is pushing the notion that there phone/operating system is so secure and protected the user is gonna feel that they are safe from such things happening to them.

Let me use an analogy.
I can build a car with a five point harness seatbelt, 10 airbags, a roll cage, and driver assistance aids.
It doesn’t mean my car can save you from every bad driving incident, but you’ll have a better chance of surving in my car versus another brand.
Insecurity (double entoundre pun intended) is a bitch, ain’t it.
people are just tired of the myth that any iDevice is immune from attack.
But that's because an iPhone user mentioned them first.
Which is a sad 1 my G
You are both right but i’ll say it once again with those “your info is secure/your privacy is safe ” commercials and ads that Apple puts out they have the user thinking they don’t have to worry about clicking on bad links and emails because their info is “secure”. Apple started using the term “fluid” and “buttery smooth” to describe their operating system and the users think they’ll never need to get it fixed because of that
Touche
You've talked to people that believe the bolded part?
He’s trying like hell though.
I mean he’s trying to make the case that a cut finger is just like having a flesh eating virus that’s devouring your limbs.
YES
... Question do you think something like what happened with Android could ever happen to a IPhone? The second reply was from a guy that’s saying because he has a iPhone he doesn’t have to worry about it
Apple Fixes Two Zero-Day iOS Vulnerabilities Exploited in the Wild
February 11, 2019
Apple’s newly released iOS 12.1.4 includes fixes for two serious vulnerabilities that are already used by hackers. The update also fixes the FaceTime bug that allowed users to remote enable other peoples’ microphones.
The two vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2019-7286 and CVE-2019-7287, from the iOS advisory were exploited in the wild as 0day, Ben Hawkes, the lead of Google’s Project Zero team said on Twitter.
One flaw, CVE-2019-7286, is a memory corruption issue in the Foundation component that can allow an application to gain elevated privileges. The other, CVE-2019-7287, allows an application to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
