implementation of SSL encryption — the internet’s standard defense
against eavesdropping and web hijacking. The bug essentially means that
when you’re e-mailing, tweeting, using Facebook or checking your bank

modifying what goes to your iPhone or iPad.<div class="pta-link-card"><div class="pta-link-card-picture"><img src="http://computerworld.com.edgesuite.net/cio/og_image_logo/CIO_logo_300x300.png"></div><div class="pta-link-card-content"><div class="pta-link-card-title"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.cio.com/article/748624/Apple_Encryption_Mistake_Puts_Many_Desktop_Applications_At_Riskhttp">Apple Encryption Mistake Puts Many Desktop Applications At Risk</a></div><div class="pta-link-card-description">Apple&apos;s Mail, FaceTime, Calendar, Safari browser and Software Update could be vulnerable, a researcher said</div></div><div style="clear:both"></div><div class="pta-box-hide"><i class="icon-remove"></i></div></div>
