Hi all,

Had a customer call and ask this probably impossible question (not VFP related):

"I have found out that one of our IT staff has a private group on Instagram where they have a large following - am I at risk if they are using their iPhone to update this app?" i.e. could their cell phone get infected and then somehow that get back into our network.

I said that being an iPhone, it is probably more secure i.e. less data moving between apps but in reality, there is no way I could say with certainty that it could never happen. Talking to their other IT guy in a "general sense" (this conversation between one of the owners and myself was confidential - they don't want the other IT staff to know about it so they were calling me as an outside person), I asked what measures they had in place for security on their phones - he said "there has never been an iPhone infected with a virus". I have my doubts that this is true but hey, what do I know!

Comments?
