Different products are introduced in the technology market every day. While these are sometimes useful products, sometimes they can have bad intentions. The hacking device called Flipper Zero was stuck between these two groups. However, iPhone models have been saved from the nightmare of the tiny and cute hacking device for now, thanks to the iOS 17.2 update. So which gap was closed? Here are the details about the subject… 

Thanks to iOS 17.2, the Flipper Zero vulnerability that locked iPhones has been closed!

Flipper Zero is basically a very cute looking hacking device. It can interact with other devices in its environment through different methods such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. In this way, you can hack any device you want and take a look at the data. The Flipper Zero nightmare, which exploited security vulnerabilities in devices, ended on iPhone models with iOS 17.2. At least until the product and its developers find a new vulnerability.Using Xtreme’s 3rd party software, the mini hack device locked iPhone models with a simple method. He was performing simple operations such as opening many Apple TV applications or the keyboard on the device. However, the intensity of these operations tired the devices and caused them to crash. Of course, there are also DoS attacks that Flipper Zero inflicts on all iPhones within a 30 meter radius.

This gap was closed with the iOS 17.2 update. In this way, the method that caused the devices to lock was eliminated. But this is only valid for now. The iOS 17.2 update arrived this week and is available for iPhones. With the new update, different features came along with the Flipper Zero issue.

With iOS 17.2, Journal application was put into service. The application, which provides “personal, secret diary” service to its users, was highly appreciated. In addition, The “Action Button” that we saw with the iPhone 15 series has gained new capabilities.
