Security demo reminds iOS users that any app (or widget) can read the clipboard silently

<div class="feat-image"></div>
<p>A new demo from researchers at Mysk shines a light on the free, unrestricted, access all apps have to the iOS clipboard.</p>
<p>In the video, the developers create a dummy app that simply prints out the information gleaned from the clipboard. When the user copies an image, the app can immediately see the image content and the metadata like the location of where the photo was taken. This becomes a little more sinister when the demo shows that installed widgets can also silently collect all data copied to the clipboard, without user knowledge.</p>
