Apple yesterday patched a bug in the iOS version of Safari that had been used by criminals to spook users into paying $125 or more. The flaw, fixed in Monday’s iOS 10.3 update, had been reported to Apple a month ago by researchers at San Francisco-based mobile security firm Lookout. When Safari reached a malicious site implanted with the attack code, the browser went into an endless loop of dialogs that refused to close no matter who many times “OK” was tapped. To regain control of Safari, all one had to do was tap Safari, then Clear History and Website Data.”]
