That’s right, freezing apples, and we aren’t talking about a frost warning at your local apple orchard.
A video has been found to freeze (a.k.a. cause adenial of serviceattack) on various models ofApplemobile devices according to YouTuber,EverythingApplePro, and reported byBleeping Computer.
In his video, EverythingApplePro shows an iPhone playing an innocent video after clicking a link he messages himself. Within minutes, the iPhone becomes unusable; the only way to recover is a hard reboot by holding down the “Home” and “Power” buttons simultaneously for a couple of seconds.
这个时候的写作,目前尚不清楚what is causing Apple mobile devices to freeze.
Out of curiosity, we went ahead and tested it on Android as well. There were no ill effects on Android, so this could be isolated to either Apple or the default browser Safari. One possible theory was a memory issue with one of the MP4 codecs.
EverythingApplePro suggests using the video to prank your friends and there are already several links found on the internet to the video. As he states, “It doesn’t have any long lasting effects that I can tell…”. You know, like doing something malicious in the background as many pieces of malware do (e.g. stealing personal information, etc.) Of course, that’s all speculation on our part, but one way or another, it is safe to say that using this as a prank isuncool.
“using this as a prank is uncool” thanks for pointing that out. This might have a bad effect on the phone performance in future.
i doubt it will has performance issues after the crash, this is just a crash of the system, nothing more.
For a system to crash, the virus will have to manipulate some files to take over the memory. What if it leaves a tiny portion of itself in there to continue playing with the system?
this is not the case here, this article fails to mention the reason. It is not like a malware or virus. It’s more like Safari plays a corrupted video and it finds an unexpected “data” within the corrupted video (for lack of better words) and it cause the “freeze” or crash. No harm is done.
