If your iPhone goes fribbitz

quote:
This tiny device is sending updated iPhones into a never-ending DoS loop

No cure yet for a popular iPhone attack, except for turning off Bluetooth.

Thanks for posting this. I leave my Bluetooth on all the time, and have yet to encounter something like this, but it’s good to know jic.

CARP!!!
Just got the new iPhone because it is the only phone with the new software for hearing aids.
The software works with Bluetooth of course.
I use it to send the voice on the phone directly to my hearing aids. I cannot understand most people on the phone without that.
Thanks for posting this.

The Flipper Zero has the potential for all kinds of mischief; tons of articles about it. I don't know how commonplace and widespread the incidents are.
I posted the article so people at least knew what was going on should the DoS problem happen to them.
