iPads too insecure for British cabinet

Stefan Mileschin · 5th November 2013, 07:10

Apple's legendary security standards have resulted in its fruity tablets being banned from British cabinet meetings.

According to British intelligence, Ipads are two easy for foreign spooks to hack and it does not think that it is a good idea to UK cabinet minsters to bring them to meetings.

According to the Daily Telegraph, GCHQ know that foreign intelligence agencies have developed the ability to turn mobile devices such as phones and tablets into bugs without the owners' knowledge, allowing them to listen in on confidential meetings. They know this because that is exactly what they have been doing, them and their American chums, so the warning is pretty much a case of the "they don't like it up em".
