Apple has endowed iPhones with undocumented functions that allow
unauthorized people in privileged positions to wirelessly connect and
harvest pictures, text messages, and other sensitive data without
entering a password or PIN, a forensic scientist warned over the
weekend.
Jonathan Zdziarski, an iOS jailbreaker and forensic expert, told attendees of the Hope X conference that
he can't be sure Apple engineers enabled the mechanisms with the
intention of accommodating surveillance by the National Security Agency
and law enforcement groups. Still, he said some of the services serve
little or no purpose other than to make huge amounts of data available
to anyone who has access to a computer, alarm clock, or other device
that has ever been paired with a targeted device.
