Another Apple bug lets outsiders fiddle with your house
You probably weren't expecting this
Apple's Homekit has a bug which allowed people to not only open your front door remotely, but unlock your garage, switch your smart plugs off and on, and mess around with your thermostat.
Apple now claims to have fixed the bug at the server side, but it's a temporary fix while programmers work frantically over the weekend to release an update for users of iOS 11.2.
This latest bug is one of many that have plagued Apple recently but this one highlights the risks of having your fridge, toaster, doors or microwave complete with their own IP number.
According to 9to5Mac, the problem isn't with the smart gadgets but with the Homekit framework.
The bug doesn't affect previous versions of iOS, according to that site.
The slightly worrying thing is that Apple knew about the problem in October.
Out here in Fudzilla land, we have a Google Home system but don't really trust it to wake us up in the morning, so have backup systems, such as an old fashioned alarm clock.

It is incredible how much trust you have to put on this smart phones. Your entire live is on this devices, from banking on your phone, keeping your on-line wallet there. Loosing your phone its a risk someone could steal your identity, Now days I wont lend my phone to anyone.
