Apple: a bad few days for security

So the past few days have been bad for Apple Inc. on the security front…
 
First, they released an update to iOS 7 for iPhones and iPads that fixed an extremely important security flaw, but have not released a fix for the same flaw in Mac OS. This flaw could allow anyone on a shared network to intercept secure web browsing…
 
Secondly, today a security research firm announced a proof of concept about a security flaw on iOS that malicious apps could use to monitor all activity. This would include keystrokes (think passwords, account numbers, etc.) and even volume and TouchID buttons.
