iMessages aren’t secure when you lose your iOS device

When iOS 5 was released alongside the iPhone 4S earlier this fall, iMessage was introduced as a new, all-encompassing messaging service that would connect all iOS device users for free using their unique Apple IDs. iMessage, however, may have a critical downfall when it comes to securely erasing access if you lose your device.

Since Apple released the Find My iPhone app, users cruising out and about have had a backup plan to keep their minds at ease should they accidentally leave their iPhone at a bar or come across the misfortune of being robbed.

Find My iPhone allows you to remote-wipe your iPhone, leaving no trace of your information, should you not be able to recover it. That should be enough to keep users safe, but readers of Ars Technica have reported that despite deactivating their phone with their carrier, remote wiping their iPhone 4S, and changing their Apple ID password after the device was stolen from their home, iMessages from a new user were still being sent and received as the original owner.

Rumor Has It, Ep. 13: Year-end rumor roundup extravaganza! (podcast)

Check it out! A dinosaur riding a shark! It's the hottest rumor of 2011!

F*** yeah T-Rex Riding Sharks Tumblr page)

It’s the end of the year show! And we celebrate that, and Hanukkah, with a very special Rumor Has It today.

Instead of rounding up the week’s hottest rumors, we’ve rounded up the year’s hottest rumors. Bam! And we bet you can guess what’s on our list.

We cover the ones that did come true, the ones that didn’t, and the ones that were so annoying, we wanted to scream. Why won’t some of these rumors ever die? At least they keep us in business.

What was your top rumor that did come true, didn’t come true, or annoyed you to death? Let us know in the comments.

We don’t have a show next week, but tune back in January 3, 2012 (!), for the first Humiliation Day of the year. Augh!
