By Richard - Thursday 24 April 2014 No Comments
Kristin Paget , who had worked on a team of security software for Apple ( iPhone ) in Cupertino , Apple questioned on her personal blog , about Apple's decision related to security issues that are found on OS X and iOS . Paget rate, Apple's lack of response , and tebilang moving slow in addressing the issue .
Reporting from phonearena , according to Paget , usually two separate product from the same company , the same security issues that a software update will be given for repairs at the same time or close together . Instead , Apple discovered the first flaw in OS X instead wait a few weeks to release iOS 7.1.1 update to fix the problem on the mobile iOS .
Paget also saw the same problem , which occurs in reverse earlier this year . With SSL flaw that affects the performance of both OS X and iOS . In this case , Apple was again considered to be slow to respond to the release of the update .
In Paget's Blog at this link , does not contain the " attacks " provocative against the former employer Apple . Paget just questioning why Apple does not seem to see anything wrong with how he has been slow to deal with the bug fixes .
In his blog , Paget wrote , " Is it reasonable enough that conducted by Apple in running the business ? Apple in one of their products literally vulnerable to security patches , security vulnerabilities in the platform , and then Apple failed to patch up the weaknesses in the matter , to take weeks and weeks after that ? are you really do not see anything wrong with this ? "
Some of the staff at Apple said that Apple's security team takes time to ripen each software update , in order to minimize the risk of a security vulnerability in iOS . Originally on the same kernel ( and a bunch of goop other operating systems ) is shared between the two platforms , but then just patch the platform separated one by one , leaving the entire userbase of the other platforms that are at risk of security vulnerabilities . And this is a time consuming step for weeks .
Indeed, so far , not yet known whether " critical attacks " on Apple could be justified , or is regarded as thrill seekers only
