A new generation: a seven-year-old child hacked an updated iOS 12 for iPhone exactly one week after release
Exactly a week has passed since the release of the updated iOS 12 for the iPhone, declared as one of the safest and most secure programs. Over these days, none of the adults managed to find vulnerabilities in the system.
Only a seven-year-old child was able to hack the system.. The boy wanted to play games so much that he found a way to get around the limitations of the "On-Screen Time" function, which allowed parents to control how much time a child spends playing.
When the allowed game time limit came to an end, the boy simply deleted the program and reinstalled it again from the "Purchases" section. Game time went without restrictions.
The father of the quick-witted little boy, who had bypassed the entire staff of programmers and testers of the corporation-producer in ingenuity, was the first to suspect that something was wrong. According to the father, he even I did not find the strength to get angry at my sonas far as he was struck by his wit.
iOS 12 was released on September 17th. A report on the child’s “work” describing the weak points of the system the father has already sent to the developers. He expressed the hope that they would take into account the shortcomings and correct them.
Earlier in the United States, an eight-year-old child hacked into a government program in just a few minutes, which takes into account the votes of voters in the state governor’s elections. The boy did not just get access to internal directories, but also changed the election results in one of the states.
Reported that the boy has nothing to do with the Russian hackers. For the found vulnerability of the electronic electoral system, the child was awarded at the government level a solid cash prize.
