Apple Allows Users to Report Unwanted iMessage Spam

A new knowledge base article that appear on Apple's website introduces an iMessage spam reporting tool to let users report unwanted messages to Apple.

To report unwanted iMessage messages to Apple, please send an email with the following details to: imessage.spam@icloud.com

1. Include a screenshot of the message you have received.
2. Include the full email address or phone number you received the unwanted message from. 
3. Include the date and time that you received the message.

While iOS 7 will allow users to block certain contacts in Messages, Phone and Facetime applications, users on older iOS versions will not be able to use that feature. Users on iOS 6 can also hide alerts from anyone not in their contacts. However, if someone is getting spammed via iMessage on an older version of iOS then this tool will be helpful.

Watch Steve Jobs Introduce WiFi to the Masses [Video]

Reddit brings to our attention an old video that some of you may not have seen -- Steve Jobs introducing Wi-Fi for the first time to the masses, becoming the first mainstream computer with wireless networking.

Jobs introduced the iBook G3 during a Keynote conference in 1999 and it became first consumer device to carry a Wi-Fi card. Wi-Fi was being introduced to the masses for the first time, and Jobs even demonstrated the wireless capabilities by using a Hula Hoop!

During this historic moment, Jobs claimed 'everyone' would jump on the 802.11 bandwagon in the next few months/years. "We're just going to be there first, and the best," Jobs said. 

The video shows Jobs waking an iBook from sleep and browsing the web. The crowd was not aware that Jobs was wirelessly surfing the web until he picks up the iBook and walks around the stage while still opening webpages. He then swings a hula hoop around the iBook to show off wireless networking. 

Lucent Technologies collaborated with Apple to create the wireless capability in the iBook G3 as well as the Airport Wireless Base Station that was released at the same time. 

The iBook packed 11Mbps 802.11, a PowerPC Processor, 32/64MB of RAM and a $1599 price point.

Viber Hackers Deface App Store Description

Viber hackers have now defaced the App's AppStore description after attacking the App's support page. The attack was initially led by the Syrian Electronic Army who have taken responsibility for this latest attack as well. The description now says "We created this app to spy on you, please download it!"

Viber issued the following statement regarding the matter:
A few days ago a “hacker” was able to gain access to a couple of Viber.com email accounts via a phishing attack. This has since been fixed.

Data they recovered allowed them to deface our support site and also gain access to our iTunes Connect account (App Store) at a level that allowed them to change the description text of our app – which they did a few days ago around the same time as the original defacement. We noticed this within minutes, fixed the metadata and removed this user (in fact, all users but one) from our iTunes Connect account.

Unfortunately, on Saturday this happened again. Upon further investigation we realized this is a security issue in iTunes Connect. It seems that when you remove a user, if the user is logged in, then the user stays logged in. We hope Apple fixes this issue soon, as currently we have no way to permanently disconnect this user from our iTunes Connect. We have reached out to Apple regarding this issue and are waiting on their response.

At this point, we want to reassure users, that this has no impact on the security of the Viber App, Viber System, our databases, user information, etc. It’s merely an unfortunate nuisance.
