元器件交易网讯 8月1日消息，据外媒路透社报道，鉴于苹果手机使用伪劣充电器遭黑的问题，该公司发布iOS 7软件更新来修补其漏洞，该款软件将于秋季推出。

三位计算机专家周三在拉斯维加斯黑帽安全大会上，研究人员演示了这个漏洞，在场的有7000位安全专家了解了计算机黑客构成的最新威胁。

此次大会上，他们作一个演示，把iPhone插在一个定制的充电器上， 然后配备一个微型的编程Linux计算机来攻击iOS设备。他们称价格是45美元，需要一周时间来设计。(元器件交易网董蕾 译)

Apple fixing bug that allows fake charging stations to hack iPhones

Apple"s devices are vulnerable to attacks until the company releases its iOS 7 software update, which is slated for this fall.

Three computer scientists, who alerted Apple to the problem earlier this year, demonstrated the security vulnerability at the Black Hat hacking convention in Las Vegas on Wednesday where some 7,000 security professionals are learning about the latest threats posed by computer hacking.

Apple said the issue had been fixed in the latest beta of iOS 7, which has already been released to software developers.

"We would like to thank the researchers for their valuable input," Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr said.

The work was done by Billy Lau, a research scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and graduate students Yeongjin Jang and Chengyu Song.

In a demonstration at the hacking conference, they plugged an iPhone into a custom-built charger they equipped with a tiny Linux computer that was programmed to attack iOS devices. They said it cost about $45 to buy and a week to design.

It infected the phone with a computer virus designed to dial the phone of one of the researchers, which it did.

They said that real-world cyber criminals might build viruses that would give them remote control of the devices. That would enable them to take screen shots for stealing banking passwords and credit card numbers. They could also access emails, texts and contact information or track the location of the phone"s owner, Lau said.

"It can become a spying tool," said Lau.

Lau said they were publicizing the issue in the spirit of "white hat" hacking, which is finding security bugs so that manufacturers can fix them before criminals exploit them.

"Security doesn"t work if you bury problems," he told Reuters on the sidelines of the press conference.

Lau said that devices running Google Inc"s Android operating system are not vulnerable to the same types of attack because they warn users if they plug devices into a computer, even one posing as a charging station.

After Apple"s iOS 7 software update, a message will pop up to alert the user that they are connecting to a computer, not an ordinary charger, he said.
