Nope of course you will close the window. It's the same with this case. The iPhone has a security vulnerability flaw and Apple must take it seriously and fix it. As far as the users concern you will have to turn off the auto time/date update for the time being.

AnonD-9000, 16 Feb 2016LOL... we all know lagf*ckdroid fanboys always got nothing ... moreConsider this, most current devices, including the affected Apple tech, rely on NTP servers to automatically set their time and date. If a hacker were to theoretically spoof responses and pose as such a server on a Wi-Fi network, he could potentially kill every current iPhone or iPad on the same network.
