This weekend we had to update our iOS devices since Apple had detected that there was a security issue in verification of SSL connections.
With the iOS 7.0.6 update, a patch has been made to the system regarding the security flaw in addition to preventing the installation of the GBA4iOS emulator. The fact is that, as we informed you in the title of this post, this security problem also exists in OSX and will be “patched” with the 10.9.2 update.
The OSX system suffers from the same security flaw as iOS in terms of verification of SSL connections, so that if the right conditions are met, our data could be intercepted. This weekend Apple has released the new version 7.0.6, thereby preventing the GBA4iOS emulator from being installed but above all being able to solve the security problem that we have indicated.
Now, for all OSX users the problem persists and to prevent your data from being used in any way, as the solution does not arrive until the release of update 10.9.2, we list a series of recommendations to be as good as possible. protected possible.
- Have the latest version of the browser installed and verify that it is not a candidate to suffer the failure, for which you can enter this page (gotofail) and check it. If so, we advise you to use Google Chrome.
- When you are going to connect to networks outside your home, make sure they are networks that you trust.
- Modify the password WEP protection of the WiFi network and pass it to security of the type WPA2.
Now we just have to wait for Apple to move tab and launch the OSX 10.9.2 update once and for all. If you have been reading us lately, you may have found out that Apple is already in the seventh beta of the possible update, so it is expected that it will be released very soon and thus fix various bugs.
