IOS 6 Tracking Tool: A Security Issue?

 

This tracking tool that is added on IOS 6 is created to protect the privacy of the users. It was said that an identifier will rely on a sequence of number that is not tied to a particular device. It’s well known that companies are relying on UDID to personalize apps and help them target adverts. Since the announcement of phasing out the race to find another tracking data is on. This tracking method is expected to be with IOS 6. Still it’s not clear how safe is this tracking tool is. This is a must awaited thing. So let’s wait up for its development in the coming days huh?
