The iPhone bug ‘breaks’ your WiFi when you sign in with an unknown network

Be careful not to give WiFi networks an unusual name – it can make a big headline for any iPhone user in the home. Computer Games and AppleInsider say security researcher Carl Shou he found a name tag that ‘breaks’ WiFi on iOS devices. Provide your network SSID as “% p% s% s% s% s% n” and your iPhone will lose WiFi functionality. You can restore it by resetting your network settings (Settings> General> Restore> Restore Network Settings), but it will definitely be harmful if you just want to avoid using cellular data.

The cause is unknown at this time, but Computer Games thinks it might be wrong to make the ropes. In short, iOS can disrupt% of scripts and apps and updates. Schou said he used such names often to confuse them with “irrational weapons.” He tested the virus with iOS 14.4.2, but it was difficult to get started with iOS 14.6.

Pathogens are not known. Bug 2018 in iOS and MacOS crashed software using one symbol. WiFi issues are rare, however, this can make pranksters less prone (temporarily) to damage your phone using public space. Although it was already a good idea to avoid contact with unfamiliar sites, you will have good reason to resist the temptation when the virus is present.
