Ministry of Defense of South Korea Bashny.Net

Not so long ago the military from Korea showed that iPhones can manage not only the owner, but also quite a stranger. It can take photography, making records on tape, go to the Internet to send files. And all this, even the owner of the electronic device, and will not know. Because of the possibility of identifying unauthorized control device with August 2012 the employees of the Defense Ministry of South Korea will be prohibited to use iPhones, which are made by Apple. Cell phones to be released by other companies to use employees of the Ministry will be allowed. But only after they will be installed a device that will block their function, such as a voice recorder, photography and access to the global network.

His decision to ban iPhones and limited numbers of other brands in the Korean Defense Ministry explain the desire to prevent leakage of sensitive information, which is confidential and should not be known to unauthorized persons. According to Colonel Yoon Won-shik, who serves as Deputy Press Secretary Office, all employees who own iPhones Apple, will be required to leave them in special cells for storage. These cells will be from outside of the building of the Ministry. For such measures to the South Korean military caused by the fact that the developers do not want to give the device access to the codes i-OS, to the South Korean technicians could block them seem dangerous functions. His statement did not make the military from scratch. They even demonstrated clearly the shortcomings of the owners of iPhones devices. Specially invited expert easily calculate which of sitting in a room of people have phones Apple, turn on the camera and gave a command to the devices to record on tape, and then captured images and audio recording of the phone itself sent to the Internet. And all this was done without the participation of the owner of the phone, and its screen does not appear even no notification that someone got into his system. The presence of the problems identified in the instruments of the world famous company guards. After all, even if not all the people are employees of secret agencies, but it is also unlikely to want to access to their personal device receives the unknown persons. But ordinary consumers choose - iPhones from Apple, simpler phones from other companies that do not have a voice recorder or phone, time will tell.
