IOS Update with Security Flaw

MOBILE, Ala. - Do you need more Abraham Lincoln in your life? There's an app for that! Abraham Lincoln is making his way to smartphones.

The "Abe App" was launched earlier this week in honor of his 204th birthday to educate everyone on the 16th President from Springfield, Illinois. You can get an Abe "Fact of the Day" and even hear the sound of his office clock. The "Abe App" is available for free on all smartphones.

A security flaw in Apple's latest software update could allow hackers to access your phone. That's according to a new video posted to Youtube by a user who tried it. Apparently, a bug in Apple's IOS 6.1 software lets anyone bypass your iPhone password lock.

The hacker would be able to make calls, listen to your messages and tinker with your contact list. The tech blog "The Verge" reports that they were also able to access photos. Similar bugs have been pointed out in previous versions of Apple's mobile operating system.

Usually, the company issues a quick update to fix the problem.

The file sharing app, Bump, for IOS and Android got an upgrade yesterday. With that app, you can simply bump your phone with another phone, or with your computer's space bar to share photos. With the upgrade, users can share any file from phone to computer.

In a way, the Bump app turns your phone into an unlimited USB drive. As long as you have bump, you can put the USB's away!

That's your Daily Tech.
