It's been fixed in the 4.2 beta.
- georgecmu 16y agoCan you share a link to the announcement?
- ssclafani 16y agoNo official announcement. Multiple people on different forums running the beta have said that it doesn't work.
- jayphelps 16y agoIt hasn't been offically acknowledged by Apple, but I can confirm this doesn't work in the 4.2 beta as well. For obvious reasons, Apple prolly hoped this one would slip past everyone undetected until they pushed the next update out.
- jayphelps 16y agoTrue, but nonetheless hilariously bad mistake. Really, this is only a security threat to your tech savvy gf/bf/friend/thief since it requires physical access. And you know what they say anyway: Law #3: If a bad guy has unrestricted physical access to your computer, it's not your computer anymore
- icegreentea 16y agoIt'll make corporate iPhone users (well, more the IT departments really) think twice (again??) about their iPhones on their network. For all the crap that RIM gets, they do get the whole corporate environment and security lock down thing right.
- sprout 16y agoI think iOS was already on every sysadmin's shitlist for quite a while. I remember some of my friends on the networking side complaining a good deal about the iPad's DHCP lease shenanigans.
- kenjackson 16y agoIs Law #3 really true for this iPhone scenario? I get that the bad guy should have access to the data on the machine, but should they be able to log into your account and impersonate you? Even with physical access that should NOT be possible.
