Yahoo ’hacker-for-hire’ pleads guilty
A Canadian man has pleaded guilty to charges related to a 2014 hack attack at Yahoo, whoch affected 500 million user accounts.
Described by US law officials as a ”hacker-for-hire”, Karim Baratov admitted hacking web-mail accounts on behalf of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB).
The number of hacked accounts is disputed.
When affected users type the word ”it” into a text field, the keyboard first shows ”I.T” as a QuickType suggestion. After tapping the space key, the word ”it” automatically changes to ”I.T” without actually tapping the predictive suggestion.
A growing number of iPhone users have voiced their frustrations about the issue on the MacRumors discussion forums, Twitter, and other discussion platforms on the web since shortly after iOS 11 was released in late September.
