Crypto vulnerability in Ios which allows hackers to access your photos!!

Apple's popular and widely used instant messenger iMessage contains a cryptographic vulnerability that allows the hackers to decrypt a photo on the company's iCloud backup system.

The vulnerability was discovered by the a team of the researchers from Johns Hopkins University which is led by the professor Matthew Green.According to the researchers they are able to exploit the bug by mimicking an Apple Server and able to obtain the encryption key by guessing each of the key with 64 numbers.

iMessage uses end-to-end encryption,which means  the company is not storing any single key from its users end.this vulnerability in the application allows the attackers to find a way to inject into the users personal view and content in iCloud.

This vulnerability is basically came to limelight when FBI is trying to force the Apple to write a software that breaks the security of the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters.
