A Mysterious Glitch Send Anonymous E-mails of January 1, 1970

Surely more than one of you will remember that about a month ago appeared a bug can disable the iPhone , the known error leaving the device unusable after changing the system date to January 1, 1970 .

A couple of weeks later, Apple fixed the bug in iOS 9.3 beta 4 . But the problems for the Cupertino not end here ... A similar glitch has appeared , this time in the native application iOS Mail.

The mistake of which I speak today makes the device (iPhone or iPad) some strange and mysterious appear emails without sender, no subject, no content, and whose date is January 1, 1970 . Quite suspicious, right?

The bug in question could be a virus in the system Apple

It has been discovered the occurrence of this bug by dozens of users have begun to share their screenshots of emails mentioning the new account Apple support on Twitter.

The good news is, fortunately, that this email does not harm in any way the security of our iPhone or iPad . However, it can be quite annoying and inconvenient, since this mail can not be removed in any way.

One of our editors has already received these emails ghost thing two weeks ago, so Apple should already be working to fix it. Anyway, the appearance of this glitch could be due to several reasons:

1. A virus

Maybe, just maybe, a hacker was able to access the security system Post Apple and has been able to create a bug whose date, oddly enough, is the same as the previous bug "1 January 1970" discovered makes a weeks.

2. The consequence of a solution

Apple fixed the bug January 1, 1970 that left the iPhone useless if we changed the date of the device, but there is a remote possibility that the solution did appear this strange glitch.

3. Unix

According to some users, the bug could be because the date is set by an increase in a collection of over a billion seconds. For example, the current date in this format would be 1.45 billion, an easy figure to handle for systems in binary code. And the date equivalent to "0" is January 1, 1970 . Farfetched, but possible.

How to delete emails from January 1, 1970?

To remove once and for all emails ghost of this new bug of January 1, 1970 is simply close the iOS Mail application and immediately restart the device . To restart the right way iPhone and iPad just hold down the Home button and the on / off button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. This solution should make the emails are eliminated and not reappear.

So it seems, the 2016 has begun to be a dismal year for Apple in terms of system security. And still resolve the issue of the FBI and encryption iPhone San Bernardino.What do you think about it?
