As with the release of any new version of a major operating system, the security holes will be picked out as users get their hands on it and starting putting it through the paces. Apple's newest iOS 5 is no different.
Chester Wisniewski of Sophos points out that iOS 5 has the same flaw in encryption that iOS 4 did. In addition, reports have surfaced that there is a flaw in iOS 5 that lets users access a password-locked iPad with one of Apple's smart covers. Users should take note and use caution with leaving their iPads in places where a nefarious character might have physical access to it.
