2 Apple says it encrypts attachments you receive on your iPhone or iPad -- but it doesn't, according to a security researcher. German security expert Andreas Kurtz has discovered that anyone in possession of your Apple device might be able to access files sent to you via , even if your phone is locked with a passcode. It's a major security flaw, but it's worse for people with older iPhones and iPads. It's less bad for folks with newer ones. Since the release of the iOS 4 software in 2010, Apple has assured customers that files are guarded with an added layer of security. When you lock your phone, the attachments in your phone are supposed to be individually locked too. Here's why: Even if hackers manage grab your phone, hook it up to a computer and bypass the passcode that locks your entire device, they still aren't supposed to be able to read the files. attachment files are a jumbled mess of letters and numbers unless you unlock the whole phone. Apple told CNN it plans to issue a fix in a future software update, but the company would not say when that would happen.

3 In Other News Saying that "it's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress," Monica Lewinsky is writing for the first time about her affair with Bill Clinton. "I, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and President Clinton. Let me say it again: I. Myself. Deeply. Regret. What. Happened," says the now 40-year-old Lewinsky in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair. Lewinsky maintains the relationship in the 1990s was one between two consenting adults. "Sure, my boss took advantage of me, but I will always remain firm on this point: it was a consensual relationship. Any 'abuse' came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position," Lewinsky writes. While a White House intern in 1995, Lewinsky began a sexual relationship with Clinton. The ensuing political scandal and investigation resulted in the Democratic President's impeachment by the Republican-led House. The Senate acquitted him of the charges. It's official: Kevin Durant is the NBA's Most Valuable Player for the season.
