iOS continuous Updates hit for iOS loophole
Another day, another iOS security concern. Today's confidence-defeating news comes from Nick Bilton at the New York Times. Bilton writes at the paper's Bits blog that a loophole has been discovered in iOS which allows third-party developers access to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's photo and video location data... as well as the actual photos and videos themselves. It appears that if an app asks for photo location data on your device (and you approve the request for permission), that application will also be able to slurp down the photos and videos stored on your phone without any further notification. The Times report mirrors an earlier story from 9to5 Mac which detailed security issues on the platform.
