The company was recently stung by leaked intelligence documents claiming that authorities had a 100% success rate in breaking into iPhones.

While I am not so concerned about the intelligence services breaking into my iPhone, not happy though. I do think that if it makes it easier for criminals then that is another matter as they are much more likely to be targeting my iPhone.

A site that explains the bug quite well. It also has a test URL you can go to to check if your OS/browser combo is vulnerable.

As it stands, if you patch iOS up to date *today*, you're safe. OSX hasn't had an update to plug the hole yet. Some OSX browsers aren't vulnerable as they use 'non-Apple' SSL libraries.

WhatsApp suffers major outage, just days after Facebook acquisition

It's rival's fortunes have more to do with the FB acquisition I'd suspect. Facebook appears more and more toxic every week :oops:
