Beware of New iPhone Crashing Bug

Pranksters are spreading a URL via social networks which direct people clicking on it to crashsafari.com. This particular website crashes your safari browser and if you're an iPhone user, it will be rebooted. This is not the first time that such a bug is discovered. In May 2015, users were crashing each other's phones by sending a specially crafted message via the iMessage app. This issue was fixed in iOS 8.3.1.

If a person visits the website from an Android or a desktop computer, the bug will only crash the browser, even if it is Chrome or Firefox. Crashsafari.com generates very long and increasing string of characters,all via JavaScript code, which overloads the text string in the address bar.

According to Google's statistics, over 400,000 users have already accessed the link,among which 325654 are iPhone users. [Click Here!]
