Supongamos que te roban tu iPhone, y usando Find my iPhone, lo borras remotamente para que nadie robe o use tu información. Pues aparentemente hay un error que permite seguir usando el servicio de iMessage aunque esto se haga. Según un lector de ArsTechnica, a su esposa le robaron un iPhone 4S, le hicieron un remote wipe, lo desactivaron con la compañía de celular, y cambiaron el password de su Apple ID. Con todo y esto, alguien siguió usando iMessage como si todavía estuviese en su cuenta.
Según ArsTechnica:
Our attention was drawn to this story by Ars reader David Hovis, whose house was recently burglarized and his wife’s iPhone 4S was stolen. According to Hovis, his wife deactivated her iPhone with her carrier, remote wiped it, and immediately changed her Apple ID password—”we picked up a new iPhone the next day, figuring that our insurance would end up paying for it,” Hovis told Ars.
For most users, this would be the end of the story. The phone number had been transferred to a new device and the old one had been deactivated; what more is there to say? A lot, apparently, and in the form of iMessages. The thief who stole Mrs. Hovis’ iPhone had sold the device to an unsuspecting buyer elsewhere in the state, and the buyer had begun sending and receiving iMessages from the phone as Mrs. Hovis—even though the stolen phone had apparently now been activated under a new number.
La única solución aparente a este problema por ahora, es borrar el Apple ID que estaba asociado al equipo. Esto es un problema porque Apple no permite transferir las compras de iTunes de una cuenta a otra. Así que hasta tanto Apple no haga algo para solucionar esto, no pierdan su iPhone por nada del mundo. Espero que Cupertino se invente algo pronto porque esto no es bueno, es un dolor de cabeza.
