Your iPhone’s Biggest Weakness May Be Your Computer

Less need to be said about the huge trend the iPhone is attracting & moreso with the latest iPhones 6 and 6.1. In spite of this, there are security measures you as a user NEED to put in place to avoid loss/damage.

Mobile malware is the fastest growing security threat we face today. But that threat has long been lopsided, and unfortunately, Android mobile operating system has seen the brunt of attacks due to its immense popularity and accessibility around the globe.

Apple iPhone 6 Will Reportedly be Launched Sept. 9

Every addicted Apple fans might want to mark Sept. 9 on their calendars, because that’s the date the highly anticipated iPhone 6 will reportedly make its grand debut. That's a big deal to some folks you know?

The news comes by way of Re/code’s John Paczkowski, who has an excellent track record when it comes to covering Apple and, specifically, reporting when Apple will host events. The date makes sense for Apple, which for the past three years has held launch events for its iPhone in September. Traditionally, Apple makes its iPhone available to shoppers 10 days after its debut event, which would mean that the iPhone 6’s release date would be September 19th, if history is any guide.

The iPhone 6 is expected to be a radical departure from Apple’s previous iPhones. The handset is said to sport a much larger 4.7-inch display, compared to the iPhone 5s’ 4-inch screen, as well as a faster processor for better performance and an improved camera.  Other reports point to Apple also launching an even larger 5.5-inch iPhone that would help the company compete with so called “phablets” like Samsung’s massive 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 3, especially in China.
Here's a picture extract:

Various rumors also indicate that the next iPhone will use what’s referred as a sapphire crystal display, which would make the handset’s screen far more durable than the iPhone 5s’. In addition to versions of the iPhone 6, Apple is said to be prepping a highly anticipated smartwatch. 

Though the device’s name isn’t yet known for certain, it is widely reported that it will be called the Apple iWatch. But be rest assured that this iPhone 6 is gonna be another boom from Apple.

 If Apple’s event is held on Sept. 9, it would mean that the iPhone 6 would debut just six days after Samsung is expected to unveil its new Galaxy Note 4. 

And if you don’t think that Cupertino planned its event with that in mind, we’ve got some beachfront property in Ohio to sell you.

Keep your eyes on your  calender. 

Cheers.

iPhone Update

YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR iPhone RIGHT NOW

Apple released an update to the iOS 7 operating system last Friday. It seemed like a minor one, and it barely made a ripple on the Internet. 

But a closer look reveals that the update was prompted by a coding error that left iPhones and iPads (iOS), as well as Macs (OS X), very vulnerable to attacks. (And that's a huge loophole to be speedily filled up or else....).

In other words, if you want your online information to remain secure, update your phone. Like, right now! And pray for a fix for OS X soon.

That’s the short story. 

The long story begins with the brief explanatory note on “Data Security” that Apple released alongside the iOS 7.06 update Friday:

“An attacker with a privileged network position may capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS.”

NB: SSL- Secure Socket Layer

       TLS: Transport Layer Security

If you’re a normal(neutral) person, you probably have no idea what that means. 

Let me give you a translation:

SSL is short for Secure Sockets Layer. It’s a tool that keeps all the communication between your browser and your websites’ servers private and secure. 

While TLS, or (Transport Layer Security), does pretty much the same thing. 

As you browse, the two work together as cryptographic protocols to make sure the browser and website servers you’re interacting with are legit (i.e. conforming to the rules and it is legal). They’re sort of like a Secret Service detail for your online activity.

SSL/TLS are actively working in the background of your browsing, paving the way for secure transactions whenever you log into Bank-of-America or make a PayPal payment or on any other online payment website. You can tell these systems are working when a little padlock symbol appears in your browser bar to the left of the website URL you’re visiting, like so:

NB: You're on a more secure network connection if the URL of your destination site has its protocol has "https://" and NOT the usual "http://".

The security breach that Apple so nonchalantly revealed on Friday allows “attackers with privileged network positions” to steal any information during your usually protected online banking sessions, or Facebooking, emailing or OkCupiding.ED

Just how “privileged” does a wrongdoer’s “network position” have to be? Well. In order to eavesdrop on your online activity — otherwise known as launching a “man-in-the-middle” attack — she just needs to be on the same cafe’s WiFi network as you. Not cool.

And while Apple has just released a fix for this error in iOS, there’s nothing to stop a man-in-the-middle attack from happening if you’re using OS X. We do expect that very soon, however.

Apple hasn’t offered details on how this actually happened and thus can’t speak to the specific apps affected, but cryptology experts have warned OS X users to avoid using Safari, iCal or any other app that relies on this security system to keep data secure. 

The only thing you can do to avoid an attack while we wait for an update is to remain on secure networks. You might want to avoid connecting to cafe networks and other WiFi hotspots not in your complete control.

If you’re using  a 3GS or an old iPod Touch and don’t have access to the iOS 7 updater, you can download iOS 6.1.6. 

And, for all of you with iOS 7 Apple devices, here’s a reminder of how to get the update right now for your device:

 Go to Settings: (As shown in the picture below)

From there, tap the "General" icon.

And then tap Software Update

 After all these just make sure your device is connected to to the internet via WiFi (or other means) and it is plugged in. 

Then choose the option to update your software. The update might take a while, and like usual updates, it’ll make the device go blank and look dead.So, you got to exercise some patience in here.

Don’t freak out and interrupt it. 

Let it do its thing.

Hope this helps...

Do drop your comments, it is highly appreciated.
