Title
First paragraph
Of course it's fucking Safari. Yes it is the default browser and wrapper that apps will leverage, but Safari is not plural. Be better, ars tech.
No. I'm not calling it that. Stop trying to force catchy names, researchers. Because historically, you suck at it as a profession.
The exploit works on any browser on an iPhone or iPad...
Because Apple are pieces of shit which force Safari to underpin any Web interaction on those devices, which wouldn't be such a problem if mobile Safari were worth a damn.
But you're right and it's a valid point. I did miss that sentence on initial read and had forgotten about that problem. Thanks for the reminder!
It also said this hasn’t actually ever been exploited. So, looks like they’ll collect the bounty and move on. Bugs are bugs.
Cha-ching! Good for those researchers, get that bag. It's much better than finding out the other way.
I'm still not calling it iLeakage though. They'll have to make do with the well-deserved cash.
What about iNalLeakage?
Can we call it pre-hack juice?
