At the beginning of April the news arrived on the network of a startup called GrayShift, which had managed to violate the security of all iPhones and iPads with the iOS 11 operating system. In principle, everything seemed perfect for the company since it was marketing with the United States police forces and security agencies, to unlock any iPhone or iPad protected with a 4-digit code.
But look where the play turned against them and now the security company suffers a hack that leaves it on the ropes. In this case, the code used to unlock the iPhone came into the hands of other hackers who have extorted GrayShift into paying them money for not publishing it.
It would be better if they released it
Obviously and thinking as a user of the iPhone and iPad, the best thing in all this that in the end the code of the box called GrayKey will be publishedYes, this would be the best since in this way Apple would be forced to detect the security problem and end up closing it permanently. In any case, hackers are not interested in publishing this code so that GrayShift continues to pay and neither is it interested in GrayShift since they want to continue making money from the sale of their boxes ...
Apple itself with Tim Cook at the helm sure they are working on correcting the problem security on iOS devices, but until this happens the code goes from hand to hand. Cook, already warned the authorities that releasing the codes to unlock an iPhone or iPad was not a good idea and here we have the consequences.
The issue of security in the iPhone is really good and Apple users can be calm in this regard. But obviously there are always security holes and these sometimes allow third parties to get into the system and achieve the data or the objective they were looking for, in this case it is a paradox and is that the security company is affected by a hack when they were doing "business" with another hack ...
What is there to see hahaha anyway ...
