I’ve heard news about a new sort of attack where somebody emulates an Apple TV and sends advertising packages in an extremely high frequency to spam and at last “DoS” (I know not the right term here but maybe the most accurat analogy) any iPhone in the area, freezing or even shutting it down.

Didn’t think of it as a real threat but me and some friends of mine who were at a small gathering at my local university (Germany) have been victims of such an attack. Our phones were frozen or did even shut off.

Anybody else got experience with that?
