Jakarta - If you are an iPhone user and have not renewed your IOS version , so be careful . Personal information and financial data may be in danger .

This was stated by the co - founder and CEO level , personal financial application on iOS and Android , Jake Fuentes .
He said , only 20 % of the total user level device has renewed the operating system with the latest version .

" We are in a situation where we pretty much known and easily exploited due to security vulnerabilities , " said Fuentes quoted by CNBC , Monday ( 03/03/2014 ) .
" We do not know how much is being accessed , but data such as contact information, bank passwords and other things that many people thought it was safe , (apparently ) do not , " he added .
Although this problem has been going to end security , application developers are concerned because anything that is communicated through their products in jeopardy , according to Subu Ramanathan , principal consultant at Security Compass .
The only way fatherly fix this is to install the security patch , which was released Apple , February 21, 2014 last . According to Fuentes , Level , financial applications accessing bank information , require users to install the last of Apple's operating system before downloading and using the application.
" It is our responsibility as guardians of our client information , to ensure that the information is secure . We prefer the safety of our application on the client information letting us in danger , " he said .
Meanwhile , Ramanathan said , although the security patch has been released a few days ago , application developers may not know the severity of the problem , or perhaps may not think the data is communicated through the application is sensitive to force users to update the operating system .
" This issue is really complex . 's Much more technical and difficult for non- technical people to understand , " said Ramanathan . But once realized , it may be too slow , " he added .
