Skycure company within the RSA Conference in San Francisco dedicated to security issues, spoke about the vulnerability in the operating system iOS 8, which allows an attacker to control the Apple devices through a network of Wi-Fi. Found in iOS 8 Skycure problem demonstrated by a project called "Zone without iOS »(No iOS Zone). It is a specially configured access point Wi-Fi, the approach to which will bring all Apple devices to come in an endless reboot loop. "Zone without iOS» uses a bug due to which attackers can manipulate the iOS-devices using certificates SSL, adopted smartphones and tablets from wireless networks.
To avoid such an attack, do not connect to unknown Wi-Fi-networks, but this is not always possible. iOS-device programmed to automatically connect to the access points of some US carriers like AT & T, so the attackers have enough chance to call your network «attwifi», the device will take from the certificates SSL. Located in the 'Zone without iOS »the user can not turn off on your smartphone Wi-Fi, because the device will restart almost instantly, without giving access to the menu. Therefore, the only possible way out of this "trap" is to leave the area of the wireless network. As noted in the Skycure, if you put such "digital bomb" on Wall Street, while disabling thousands of devices, the consequences can be very serious. Experts of the company did not disclose details of its findings and the first thing turned to Apple, with which at the time of this writing, are seeking to solve this problem.
