A white hat hacker employed by Google as a part of their Project Zero team described in a lengthy blog post how he managed to remotely hack iPhones through WiFi without the need of a user error. All he needed to obtain unauthorized access was to be close to the targeted devices. The issue that made the flaw possible was patched by Apple back in May The wormable radio-proximity exploit allowed the white hat hacker to access all the files stored on the targeted devices that include emails, notes, images, location data , etc.
What makes these findings particularly remarkable is the fact that users did not have to click on a suspicious link, visit a shady website, or download a malicious map. All potential victims had to do is be close to a person capable of exploiting the security issue.

What makes things even worse is that the security fault would also give away access to the camera and microphone of the targeted device. According to Ian Beer, the Project Zero researcher who discovered the security issue, the bug appears not to have been widely used by cybercriminals. So, it is unlikely someone ever accessed your iPhone files with this particular exploit. That's not a use case as in why you want to do it, that's a use case as in what you want to do, which I understand perfectly. You can do that on your computer, at home, right now.
That's the use case I'm looking for. VxJason: Why? What is a use case by definition. Why do I want to do it on a mobile device? Because they haven't made pockets big enough for my laptop.

Yes, I said What is a use case, I said it was one I already knew the answer to. I said it wasn't a why use case. I suppose this means the answer to why is: I'm not at home, and I don't have network connectivity, in which case I can only fall back on my followup suggestion, use an app that has a local map cache, such as Navigon or Sygic's offerings. The only three solutions I see are: 1 Jailbreak 2 Know what you're looking for in advance and save it, or 3 my suggestion s. Show 1 more comment. Active Oldest Votes.

I live in a rural area with no 3g coverage, and want to use the pictures with the GPS data usually from dirt roads and bicycle paths that doesn't appear on any map Funny. Add a comment. I'm always a bit wary of jailbreaking. I would be more then willing to dedicate 1GB or so of disk space to contain a decent map cache of my general area so I don't need to be online as much. Josh Jailbreaking isn't enough, there is then significant hacking. I've edited my answer to add some detail. As cool and interesting as it sounds, I think I'll pass on the latter.
Would be worth it if I had more spare time. I tried this before going on a bike tour where cellular coverage would be spotty, and found that the caching process is awkward you need to define what areas you want cached , and slow I let it run overnight and my defined area wasn't finished downloading. This was a year ago—the situation may have improved. Randy Coulman Randy Coulman 4 4 bronze badges.

Jason Salaz Jason Salaz Those maps are apparently well out of date, plus I don't care as much about directions as about not having to reload map tiles. Who claims they're well out of date? And it's less about directions as much as it is having a static base of map data. The multiple one star reviews on the app I suppose I could have looked there :.
