I’m just wondering why Swordmaker doesn’t post such articles.
Because he’s PR.
I’m just wondering why you didn’t ping him to this one.
I do not know sword maker, but he has posted that he is some kind of “IT” consultant working across all platforms. I assume he has what we like to call “a day job”.
That said, as a very long time Apple user, I read the same old FUD in this article. My devices will not get “infected” unless I respond to some dodgy email, and decide to download something deliberately.
If I were so clueless as to try, the apple software would warn me that it was suspicious, and I would have to click on a button to allow the download to go ahead.
I suppose there are some young folk who are impulsive, and would, but most of us users are savvy enough not to do it. We like the protection Apple gives us in the App stores, and the operating systems.
Lots of us would sleep more soundly if our infrastructure was run on Apple’s OS, and not the other one.
But, the Apple bashers are always willing to hope that someone somewhere can succeed in getting in. Only user stupidity can give them the chance, presently.
If I had seen it before now, Jonty, I would have. . . especially for the laugh factor. This article is hilarious FUD! Thee is literally no way for someone to convince someone to install a malicious app on an un-jailbroken iPhone or iPad. Those who jailbreak their iOS devices cannot expect iOS security. They deliberately UNLOCKED THE DOOR and INVITED malware in.
Sorry, if you unlock your phone, you'll find sympathy in the dictionary between "Sh!t" and "syphilis," but nor from me.
