Device causes iPhones to go into endless DoS loop

Never fear there's a new hack for iPhones.  Of course, I am being silly.  The latest attack on iPhones.

@dcontesti   As long as you can get your hands on the attacking device.  A lot of places have embargoed including Amazon.

Totally agree but there are many of the devices still out there.  

 

Unfortunately, the bad guys will find a way.

The Flipper has essentially "script kiddied" a lot of things that were already possible, just not packaged in an easy to execute way. As annoying as they are, they do pose a good lesson for developers and end-users. For some reason, people believe it is a good thing for wireless networking to behave like 20-year-olds hopped up on aphrodisiacs at an ancient org-y, constantly announcing "I'm available!" and "Let's pair!"

(fascinating, the correct spelling is considered a "bad word" by the community filter - thanks for you censorship)
