iPhone Apparently Open To Old Wi-Fi Attack 90
judgecorp writes "Security researchers say that iPhone and other Apple devices are vulnerable to an old attack, using a fake Wi-Fi access point. Attackers can use an SSID which matches one that is stored on the iPhone (say "BTWiF"), which the iPhone will connect to automatically. Other devices are protected thanks to the use of HTTPS, which enforces HTTPS, but iPhones are susceptible to this man in the middle attack, researchers say."
HTTPS enforces HTTPS? (Score:5, Funny)
HTTPS enforces HTTPS? Whew. That's a relief. Does SFTP enforce SFTP and SSH enforce SSH too? Just checking to make sure I'm secured.
