A wireless network naming bug has been discovered in Apple’s iOS operating system that effectively disables an iPhone’s ability to connect to a Wi-Fi network. The issue was spotted by security researcher Carl Schou. Bad actors could exploit the issue to plant fraudulent hotspots with the name in question to break the device’s wireless networking features. The bug is not reproducible on Android devices, but iPhones affected would need to have their network settings reset by going to Settings > Reset > Reset Network Settings and confirming the action.
