Apple phone under threat. Nostalgia for "bricks".

Just noticed the news:

11-year-old child created the first Trojan for the iPhone.

For the popular iPhone smartphone, manufactured by Apple, created the first Trojan program, according to the publication MacWorld. According to the company F-Secure, the trojan was created by an 11-year-old child who experimented with XML files. As reported at Modmyifone.com, after talking with the experimenter’s father, the site from which the Trojan was distributed was disconnected from the Network.

You know, when I read this, something like nostalgia for the old Nokiev’s (and not only) “bricks” arises, the standard functions of which included only “call”, “write SMS”, “wake up in time”. What kind of trojans on the phone, what are you talking about: having an address book seemed like the height of convenience! And where are we now? Using phones is not only difficult, but also unsafe in terms of the security of personal data. Now it's not enough to buy a mobile phone, you also have to complete a computer literacy course on information security! :)

Do not think, I am not at all against communicators, smartphones, etc. And certainly not a stone in the garden of Apple. It just so happens that among household devices there is less and less technology that you treat without alertness.

Hmm, maybe some Apple's iWasher will appear in the future - and we are not afraid of any viruses! :) However, considering today's news, there’s no hope for that. Troyan, using a hole in the software of a third-party company (well, for example, a program that provides drying of shoelaces from shoes), closes linen to holes!
