Considering that some chargers for iDevices can be used to extract data from our terminals, in iOS beta 7 4 those of the Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), they included a protection system for users. A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology demonstrated on Wednesday, during Black Hat Las Vegas, the vulnerability that allows them to introduce a virus into iDevices with the help of a charger, they can then control the terminals without the users knowing , and of course to steal their data.
The vulnerability is a month old and Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), he had time to investigate it and implement it iOS 7 a system to protect us against those with bad intentions. When you connect an accessory that is not accredited by Apple to your iDevices, you will see the message in the image above, asking you if you want to let the operating system transfer data through that accessory. If you choose the Trust option, then the data will be shared completely, but if you choose the Don't Trust option, then the data will not be shared.
To be honest, the idea from Apple is very good and deserves praise, especially since iOS did not have protection systems of this kind.
