How To Break an iPhone’s Wi-Fi Settings Using a Rogue Hotspot: How Do Hackers Do Things Series
In this episode of How Do Hackers Do Things, GraVoc Security Consultant, Josh, demonstrates how a hacker can break an iPhone’s Wi-Fi settings by creating a rogue hotspot through an SSID access point.
Recently, a bug was found within iPhones that if activated, can prevent users from accessing their Wi-Fi settings. How this specific bug works is that when a user connects to the Wi-Fi name, %p%s%s%s%s%n, this will cause their Wi-Fi functionality to not work and ultimately break. Watch the video above to see exactly how this is done and how you can quickly fix it should you fall victim!
In order to prevent any sort of attack like this from happening, it is important to be aware of the networks you are connecting to. Do not connect to any network/hotspot that you are unfamiliar with!
For businesses, it’s important to train your employees on the dangers of joining unknown networks. By performing security trainings, you can assure that your team has the skills to point out dangers and prevent attacks like these from happening.
