CTOnews.com, November 20, according to foreign media 9to5Mac, a popular and cheap hacker device, the Flipper Zero, first appeared in September this year. It can repeatedly tell iPhone and iPad to send spam content by creating a Bluetooth pop-up window, until the device finally crashes. But to this day, Apple has not fixed the Bug, including the iOS 17.2 beta.

Foreign media said that Flipper Zero can now be easily purchased, the tool is known as "penetration testers and amateur toolbox", can write code to control a variety of protocols, hackers can directly write malicious code, resulting in iPhone / iPad crash code.

Security researcher Dr. Techryptic discovered that when a hacker loads a specific code that exploits a Bluetooth low power (BLE) pairing sequence flaw on a Flipper Zero, the device can perform a Dos attack, sending a large amount of Bluetooth pop-up messages to the nearest iPhone / iPad, causing the device to freeze for several minutes. And then restart.

Flipper Zero's Bluetooth radio range is about 164ft, so hackers usually launch DoS attacks nearby, causing serious damage to coffee shops and sporting events without being detected.

Foreign media also mentioned that Apple has not yet fixed the Bug, and that the only thing users can do is to disable Bluetooth in their settings, while Apple has not yet admitted the defects in the Bluetooth low power (BLE) pairing sequence that is being used by hackers. Foreign media believe that "the reason may be technical."
