Major iOS 7 Bug Lets You Disable Find My iPhone Feature Without Password

<span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqBpuO5rTQBC-49edY2CsqC28cMHPH6UmCTc-xSq1fd8LerLnaVQM09aFgMJhxhEF1Voyx-00UbGAnJcCZfFm2Yz2Ik1TqJDnRulu23omi1D9jW7YrlQQKVnLtdt_GNDv9Gk10lkwWz04/s1600/Apple-Logo11.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqBpuO5rTQBC-49edY2CsqC28cMHPH6UmCTc-xSq1fd8LerLnaVQM09aFgMJhxhEF1Voyx-00UbGAnJcCZfFm2Yz2Ik1TqJDnRulu23omi1D9jW7YrlQQKVnLtdt_GNDv9Gk10lkwWz04/s320/Apple-Logo11.png" /></a><p>This story really caught our attention especially seeing as though Apple's iOS is renowned for being amongst the most secure platforms out there. But I guess it just shows that security issues do flare up at times. We have learned that users can disable the Find My iPhone feature without having to type in a password. This means that should you lose your iPhone you can even track it. A total disaster for every iPhone user out there.</p> <span class="fullpost"><p>This is a very simple little hack that you could try on your own iPhone or iPad but it does look like it is specific to devices running iOS 7.0.x. The bug doesn't apparently affect those on iOS 7.1 beta, so Apple is probably already aware of this major flaw and has taken steps to ensure that it is fixed. Nevertheless, the mere fact that anybody could disable this potential lifeline for a lost device, we decided it was something that should be highlighted.</p> <p>It doesn't matter that Apple seems to be working to fix this we still thought everyone should be aware. There is a little bit of good news and that is that this bug doesn't mess with the Activation Lock system, so if stolen, even if your device is wiped, it will still need your Personal Apple ID and password in order to function as normal.</p> <p>We highly recommend that you activate a passcode or Touch ID to keep your phone safe and secure. Then when iOS 7.1 arrives, download and install it immediately. The iOS 7.1 release shouldn't be too far away now either as the fifth beta has just made its way to developers and since Apple tends only to run 5 to 8 betas before releasing the end user product we anticipate that this isn't far off at all.</p> </span> </span></span>

Namely, tracking your device, remote lock/wipe, sound the siren/alarm. Great for personal users.<br /><br />However, what if you are a corporate user, e.g. a logistic company that needs to track many truck drivers' location using different devices (Android and IOS), a company that needs large scale customize apps deployment/review and force password policies, a restaurant that wants to deploy apps to handhelds. If security is utmost important to you, you will be glad that the data transmission is over SSL. I did ask 3CX about data encryption on the device itself and 3CX replied that it is in the works.<br />On top of all the basic security stuff offered with the freebies software I evaluated above.<br /><br />Then, the 3CX mobile device manager solution will definitely suit your needs. Even as an individual user or a small company, they offer a <b>Free 5 Device Account for Life!</b> For those considering purchasing more than 5, you can have a Proof of Concept first.<br /><br /><table style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; width: 701px;"><tbody style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><tr style="margin: 0px; min-height: auto; padding: 0px;"><td rowspan="2" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 18px; padding: 3px;" width="140px"><b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Part Number</b></td><td rowspan="2" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 18px; padding: 3px; text-align: center;" width="40px"><b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Up to # Devices</b></td><td colspan="2" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;" width="140px"><b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">One Year</b></td><td colspan="2" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;" width="140px"><br /></td><td rowspan="2" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 18px; padding: 3px; text-align: center;" width="90px"><br /></td></tr><tr style="margin: 0px; min-height: auto; padding: 0px;"><td style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;" width="70px"><b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">USD</b></td><td style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;" width="70px"><b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">EUR</b></td><td style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;" width="70px"><b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Buy</b></td><td style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 15px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;" width="70px"><br /></td></tr><tr style="margin: 0px; min-height: auto; padding: 0px;"><td style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 18px; padding: 3px;">3CXMDMH5</td><td style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 18px; padding: 3px; text-align: center;">5</td><td style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 18px; padding: 3px; text-align: center;" width="">FREE</td><td style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 18px; padding: 3px; text-align: center;" width="">FREE</td><td style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 18px; padding: 3px; text-align: center;" width=""><a href="http://www.mobiledevicemanager.com/signup/?src=miib" style="color: #007bc7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Sign Up!</a></td><td style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 18px; padding: 3px; text-align: center;" width=""><br /></td><td style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 0px; min-height: 18px; padding: 3px; text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Additional stuff I like besides the standard tracking etc.<br /><br /><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://www.mobiledevicemanager.com/managing-mobile-applications/" style="color: #007bc7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Manage Mobile Apps with 3CX MDM"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Manage Mobile Apps</strong></a><br />Use 3CX Mobile Device Manager to deploy apps en masse with just a few mouse clicks.
