All of you are certainly aware that communication is a dangerous thing nowadays. I do not mean talking to people; that is as dangerous as it has always been, no more or less. What I mean is a long-distance communication. Make a phone call? Sure, just keep in mind all those people that may be listening in. You want to use Skype or other communicator? Have fun being spammed by “24yrs old female with pics”. Facebook? It is all fun and games until you learn how many secret services around the world may be spying on you. SMS? No better place to catch suckers and make them click that virus-infecting link…
If you are an iPhone user, beware any unknown video you may get. One of them just might freeze your phone.
A three seconds short video will play normally upon opening, but soon after your phone will slow down, and I mean sloooooow doooooown… it will become nearly impossible to do anything, and after that the device will freeze completely. The only way to reverse the effect is to hard reset the phone. Thankfully, the video probably does not contain any other malicious effects. Speculation is that the video is not a virus but rather a corrupted file causing a memory leak. The video is dangerous, as far as we know, only to the phones running any version if iOS. It is reasonable to expect Apple to fix the issue in the next patch. Later!P.S. You can watch the video on the, uhm, video here.
