Researchers find flaw in Apple’s iMessage, decrypt iCloud photo

Washington Post: Apple’s iMessage system has a cryptography flaw that allowed researchers to decrypt a photo stored in iCloud. Researchers, led by cryptography expert Matthew D. Green of Johns Hopkins University, wrote software that mimicked an Apple server and then targeted an encrypted photo stored on iCloud. Apple is quoted as saying the flaw will be patched in iOS 9.3, which is due for release Monday. The Washington Post story prompted many comments on Twitter after it was apparently mistakenly posted earlier on Sunday but then withdrawn.”]
