When your Apple device allows file stealing, reveals your first name and blacks out
Jessica wants to check-in electronically to her flight to New York. But the screen of her iPhone stays black while the phone enters an endless reboot cycle. And she is not alone: all Apple users in proximity suffer the same fate. Worse, she does not even suspect that during her previous stay in the airport lounge an attacker was able to steal holiday photos and a company presentation she was transferring from her phone to her MacBook, track her position and associate her first name with a unique device ID.
These vulnerabilities were discovered by researchers of TU Darmstadt, Germany and Northeastern University, Boston, USA
