| Brazilian criminals mock Apple security Using stolen phones to empty bank accounts Brazillian criminals have been nicking Apple fanboy’s phones, bypassing the security and employing the account holder’s bank accounts. Coppers could not work out how the criminals were doing it, and then they suddenly realised that they had been working on the assumption that iPhones were the most secure phones in the world. When they realised they were not it was easy. The Sao Paulo police arrested one of the criminals who spilt the beans about how easy it was. One of the criminals bragged he could unlock iPhone 5 to iPhone 11 models. According to Police Chief Fabiano Barbeiro, the criminals only need the iPhone SIM card to access all the device's data. The criminals would use the SIM card of the stolen iPhone in another iPhone and search social networks such as Instagram and Facebook to find out the email address of the stolen iPhone's owner. Usually, this email address is also the one used for their Apple ID. https://fudzilla.com/news/mobile/531...apple-security |
