There is no doubt that the bizarre news from a The fact that the iPhone can survive a drop of almost 5,000 meters without a single scratch is an excellent free marketing ploy for Apple, due to the durability of its equipment. However, the discovery also revealed a major security flaw on the user side.
It's obvious that when you board a plane, the last thing you think about is one of the doors opening midflight. But that's exactly what happened to Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 on a routine flight from Portland, Oregon to Ontario, California with 171 passengers and six crew members on board. A few minutes after takeoff, one of the doors opened and disappeared over the horizon, leaving a huge hole in the side of the plane.
No one was sitting in the seats next to this door, which was considered an emergency location, and there were no injuries to the passengers. But of course there was a sudden loss of pressure in the cabin, causing several items, including headsets and smartphones, to fly through the hole, the BBC reports.
At the time of the incident, the aircraft was flying at an altitude of almost 5,000 meters and most of the objects flown will most likely never be found. But the The user of the social network. This was the second smartphone found, but there was no clue as to the door's whereabouts.
But how was this related to the plane incident and not someone dropping it from a car? It's just that The device had no security lock, no PIN or FACE ID enabled and the user only had to swipe to access the iPhone. As soon as he unlocked the device, an invoice from the company for checking in the passenger's luggage appeared.
As the BGR reports, this lack of safety for the passenger, owner of the equipment, could jeopardize your digital life, access to emails and personal data, payments or even sensitive or confidential content, as well as anything else registered on your smartphone.
In a world where lack of equipment care and safety is debated, the lack of basic protective measures can result in irreparable damage. Ironically, the passenger was worried about protecting the gear since he had a screen protector to prevent scratches and a protective case that helped cushion the impact of the fall, making the case go viral. However, this need for protection did not extend to the contents, which would put him in the same situation if stolen.
O The moral of the story is that even when flying at 5,000 meters, someone will always have both feet on the ground, waiting to find an unprotected smartphone and access personal data. You should always and in all situations lock the screen by entering a PIN or facial recognition. In this case, to what extent should passenger Cuong Tran trust Seanathan Bates, who even shared photos of the receipt with his name on it?
