While Apple is running to repair its major security flaw OS X after its unexpected appearance first on iOS , you can see which applications you should avoid using on public Wi-Fi.
The list comes from the independent researcher Ashkan Soltani. Using these applications from OS X on a shared network in a coffee shop or the airport, for example, leaves you exposed to "man in the middle" attacks, with which attackers can monitor that information send or receive from them servers you are visiting.
In addition to Safari, according to Soltani's findings, you should also avoid using the following applications:
- Calendar
- FaceTime
- Keynote
- iBooks
- software Update
The above list of dangerous Apple applications may not be complete. It's the list of applications that have been discovered so far. Maybe later he or some other security researcher will present us with a new list. Stay tuned.
