Cyber security experts, of late, have got wind of a dreaded text that can bomb an Apple computer or iPhone. The experts who are busy with an extensive research have called it the text bomb that can crash these devices.
If these experts are to be believed the text bomb is a piece of message linking a particular code of the bug and the computer or the iPhone crash moments after the message is received. Restarting is an option to get rid of the risk albeit it is not a viable.
A software expert was said to have a post on programming site with a link to the code. Later he withdrew it leaving the bug in question to Apple for necessary step. But Apple remains mum on such suggestions to firmly deal with the bug.
A school of experts has called it ChaiOS since it plays on “chaos” and “iOS.” The industrial security experts are equally concerned over the bug and the mess thereof. They call it equally nuisance where the fugitives behind this notorious network can pilfer sensitive data from a personal computer or iPhone with ulterior motives and they might get access to one’s personal details.
These experts hope the software giant would update the cyber security cover in near future to ward off the text bomb in the door step.
The bug is a grim reminder of the effective power bug three years back which posed no less threat to the iPhones.
