    Apple iMessage has suffered from attack spam short messages leaded to collapes of mob

    The news from technology site appleinsider said, recently some apple developer***8217;s iMessage application has got the the attack, the attacker sent a lot of spam message via "Denial of Service Attack (DoS)", to lead the victim's iOS devices full filled or collapse instantly.

    The attack is relative to a Twitter account of only identifiers of apple devices for sale. The movements of so far, it***8217;s relative to six Apple development organizations, including the Apple jailbreak software and application development team of iH8sn0w.

    Subsequently, the well-known iOS jailbreak hackers iH8sn0w and application developers of Grant Paul analysed the attack principle and they were taking the advantage of AppleScript on the Mac OS X platform to edit a test tool which would automatically send to information to iOS devices.

    Paul said, because Apple does not restrict iMessage information***8217;s interval of delivery time, so the attacker could easily send thousands of iMessage information in a short period of time. The Attacked iOS devices will constantly receive information. If Apple do not set limitation, the attacked devices will soonly be filled up with spam messages. Besides the quantity, if it receive a large number of spam in an instant, and the iOS device can't handle information in time, it can also cause a crash.

    Once suffered from such attacks, the users could close the iMessage service, but there still has no prevent measures can help, Apple also have not came up with some solution.

              This is one of my pet hates..... Can anyone please show me a 5G phone? 4G is only just being launched.

              The original Ishite was only 2G, so the next Ishite was given 3G to try & keep up with the rest of the world.... It was called the Ishite 3G, then 3GS.

              The Ishite 4 is just called the Ishite 4 as it doesn't have 4G support. Neither does the 4S, which it's called. The Ishite 5 has got 4G support, so you can call the Ishit 5 either, Ishite 5 or Ishite 4G

              The 4 is not 4G, the 5 is not 5G..... Got it!?
