For my VOSOT assignment this week for J440, I did a story based on my current event assignment. My story focuses on the new security features revealed by the Apple’s seventh generation operating system.
University of Illinois is a major consumer of apple products. The new activation lock feature on iOS7 can make an iPhone almost unusable when stolen. Deputy Chief of University Police Department V.G Frost says technology is important towards controlling smartphone theft.'While the police department notes that a reduction in theft isn’t likely to come about overnight, they believe that security tools are important towards making smartphone theft a lot less fruitful.
As smartphone theft is a serious issue on campus, the police department warns students not to keep their things unattended. So be safe !
