NSA backdoor found in front facing iPhone camera

Tsukasa Buddha · Nov 25, 2014

In what is being called “selfie-gate”, a hardware-based backdoor has been discovered by Reddit hackers.

But the real news is that the First Annual ISF Secret Santa is now open for sign up until this Friday, November 28.

Can't find anything on this. The only thing I can find in the news about the iPhone is related to it winning 'Phone of the Year' and 'Gadget of the Year' at the Pocketlint Awards in London.

It's not so much a joke as click-bait, pure and simple. Still, it's only once a year.

Ah. Hard to be grumpy about seasonal japes, but I do prefer my click-bait with some entertainment value!
