Separate thread, considering the number of readers using I-Phones.

Apple quietly released a major update Friday to fix a security glitch in its iOS 7 systems. But independent security experts say the seemingly routine update covers up what arguably could be Apple’s biggest security lapse, exposing iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users to hackers.

The issue is an extra line of “goto” code that bypasses the iOS system’s authentication process, allowing a third party to intercept emails and Internet traffic. That means a hacker can pose as a friendly, trusted source, such as your email provider, and eavesdrop on users’ encrypted Internet traffic and potentially take full control of the system.
