Security iPhone Hotspot Passwords Take Seconds to Crack
If you use your iPhone as a mobile hotspot, a hacker could probably get into it in less than a minute. By default, iOS 6 generates randomized passwords from a relatively small list of preset words, allowing hackers to use brute-force techniques to gain unauthorized access.
Luckily for iPhone users, the fix is quite simple: When activating your device's mobile hotspot, simply program your own safe password.
