Schwachstelle bei iTunes-Backups

Entdeckt haben die Schwachstelle die Sicherheitsexperten von Elcomsoft. Bei einer Überprüfung fanden sie heraus, dass unter iOS 10 Brute-Force-Attacken bis zu 2500 Mal schneller arbeiten als noch bei iOS 9. Die Experten begründen diesen Umstand mit Änderung am Backup-Prozess, der bisher implementierte Sicherheitsschritte überspringt. Hacker könnten somit schneller Zugriff auf persönliche Passwörter erlangen als bisher.

Verschlüsselte Backups von iOS 10 lassen sich leicht per Brute-Force knacken

Nach einem Blogeintrag von Elcomsoft hat Apple bei iOS 10 in puncto Sicherheit geschlampt. So lassen sich verschlüsselte Backups über iTunes viel leichter entschlüsseln als das früher der Fall war. Soll heißen: iOS 9 und die Vorgängerversionen waren in diesem Punkt sicherer. Schuld an der Misere soll eine neu eingeführte Passwort-Verifizierungsfunktion sein, die erst in iOS 10 verwendet wird.

In love with the new iOS 10? If you’re a hacker, you probably are. That’s because the newest operating system allegedly makes it “considerably easier” to hack iTunes logins for backup passwords stored on a Mac or PC. According to software company (and iPhone expert) Elcomsoft, the backup method used in iOS 10 “skips certain security checks,” which allowed professional hackers to test backup passwords “approximately 2500 times faster” when compared to iOS 9 and previous generations.

Apple promises fix for iOS 10’s iTunes backup security flaw

Security forensics company Elcomsoft revealed last week that encrypted iOS backups created in iTunes have been made far less secure with the recent release of iOS 10. While an unintentional flaw, the new password protected backups offer an “alternative password verification mechanism” that allows them to fall victim to brute force hacks much more quickly and easily than with previous iOS versions. Fortunately Apple acknowledged the issue, and says a fix is on the way with “an upcoming security update.”
