iPhone and iPad security bug could let hackers look at personal details including private photos, security researchers say

A bug in iPhones and iPads could have left people at risk of having their iPhones broken into and their personal information looked at, security researchers have claimed. Just one email could be enough to crash the phone and use that to access the sensitive data contained on it, according to the researchers. Apple will fix the bug in its operating systems that allowed hackers to break in through its email client, the Mail app. More than half a billion devices could have been liable to the exploit, according to the security researchers who found it. The bug was found by San Francisco security company ZecOps while it was investigating a sophisticated attack against one of its clients, which took place at the end of last year, it claimed.
