It's so frustrating when Joss is still in jail though (but awesome at the same time)! Other than that, I loved her scenes with Patty and her coming clean about the plan Joss confessed to. I've only known her for 11 episodes now and I think she's an awesome fit in this show - I really hope she'll stick around if the show is renewed. It was awesome to see Calista again after she was missing from the last episode and as strange as it sounds, the show just felt back on track with her in it. But now the police think Joss and Calista co-conspired to kill Luca?! The police in this show are very assumptious and, as Joss says in the promo for the next episode, it looks like she'll never get out at this rate. I'm glad Joss saw through the doubts and remained with David as he did do a good job with leaking the tape. Good news, yes? Even though Harry put doubt in Joss's mind about David, I still believed he could do a good job. We got to see what was on it - someone driving Calista's car, dressed like her and wearing her ring, as she drove away from the scene of the crime. When all hope appeared lost, David presented her with the video that Daniel secured him in order to help Joss. However, that doesn’t mean iPhones are immune from attack, as Google’s Project Zero has clearly shown here.Joss spent this episode still in jail (I am dying for her to get out, to return to her usual amazing clothes) but things definitely seemed brighter in Joss's dim little world in there. It’s true that iPhones can, in theory, be more secure due to the closed nature of the Apple ecosystem–compared to the more fragmented Google Android. In addition, it’s a good idea to make sure you are taking steps to secure your iPhone, perhaps by using a security key which is now available in Safari following the launch of iOS 13.3.Īpple is also making it easier to improve your iPhone and iPad privacy by locking down the apps that collect your data. Yes, some people like to wait until bugs are ironed out, but it can be dangerous to delay your updates when serious vulnerabilities such as this one are out there and detailed.

But I’m still going to get a bit preachy: Please ensure you update your Apple iOS to the latest version as soon as it becomes available. The issue shouldn’t be a problem if you keep your iPhone up to date, so there’s nothing you need to do. This stops attackers from being able to easily exploit the vulnerability and ensures people can update their operating systems when a fix is available.

Because the full fix wasn’t available to iPhone users for some time, the details were not revealed until much later. Thankfully, the issue has been fixed, and it was reported responsibly by Google’s Project Zero. It appears that this vulnerability only requires the attacker to know the user’s phone number to be able to exploit it.” “Typically, they require some user interaction, such as installing a malicious application. “This makes the vulnerability different from a lot of other mobile issues,” says security researcher Sean Wright. One of the biggest concerns about the Apple iPhone vulnerability reported by Google is that it doesn’t require any interaction from the user to exploit. How bad is the vulnerability and how can I protect my iPhone? This should make similar exploits “significantly harder,” from now on, he said.

Remote code execution could be achieved through abuse of the “Receipts” feature that lets people know their iMessages have been delivered.Īs a result of the research, Groß has recommended new security measures to Apple, some of which the iPhone maker has already implemented. He demonstrated how an attacker could set up a side communications channel to interact with a user’s device. In the blog, Groß showed how a data randomising security feature called ASLR, which is meant to protect against exploits, is “not as strong in practice.”
The video of Groß’s talk is available for those of you who like a visual accompaniment. It’s part of a three part series, which the more technical among you might enjoy delving into. The Google Project Zero blog reveals more details about Groß’s research, which was first unveiled at a hacking conference in December. What does Google’s blog tell us about the iPhone hack? Also in July, a vulnerability was discovered that could enable an attacker to read the files on an iPhone without having physical access to it.
