Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Indeed even if it's quite nightmarish to us, you guys definitely managed to crack a smile on our faces! Thank you for the good spirits.
But it now seems that the issue is now resolved. Would you encounter any other notification spam, please let us know!
We will now investigate this faulty notication service provider hacking issue.
Glad you quickly determined the source of the hack, but if I were you I'd never give business to that provider again. This hack represents a serious breach of security and trust.
Gamechanger
Recently in England a 'prankster' taped a phone to a back of a chair in a recording studio for a live football match commentary. They set the ringtone to 'inappropriate' then called the phone repeatedly while the program was on air.
Host Gary Linekar said afterwards:
"If you told me this morning that tonight I’d be on Newsnight talking about a porn scandal I would have been terrified"
So, feeling sorry for the Bleass devs here. Not many people wake up in the morning with an expectation that they'll be the centre of attention by evening.
Glad to hear it all got resolved quickly.
Its bad.
My app hack got linked via midi, to a webcams sex machine.
The Lfo.
Lucky it wernt percussive synth.
Corrected that for you. 🤣
😂
Have you considered disabling notifications completely?
I don't think that this kind of vulnerability has been fixed, right?
Breaches happen. As a former boss of mine used to say: "If you kill them, they won't learn anything". Perhaps unsurprisingly, companies that are in the business of delivering alerts and notifications are a juicy target for unscrupulous hackers, and even the biggest and most trusted have suffered through events like this. Hopefully Bleass will wait and see how their provider responds to the incident before making a decision on dropping them.
Yes, breaches happen. And something this serious cannot be ignored or negotiated away. The provider should be fired immediately.
From the point of view of users, those notifications came from BLEASS, not a third party. That represents a loss of credibility and trust with users. I can't imagine what parents of kids who got those notifications through these apps must be thinking. I suppose more than a few people have decided to permanently delete the apps rather than face possible additional security risks.
Speaking strictly for myself, I've turned off all notifications from BLEASS and have no plans to ever turn them back on.
What happened needs to be understood first. Everyone can be hacked someday.
ok drambo heads, can drambo do THIS?!?! i think not!!
yet another reason why i stay away from Drambo, (even tho i own it, and use it all the time)
I’m really surprised to see that nobody has suggested that we can do this in Drambo.
I can confirm that the bleep bloop sounds I get in Drambo definitely don’t make my gf throw me on the bed
Amen. (my speech only since 2016 or so but anyway 😄)
(I must admit I still use them sometimes for some things that would be prohibitively expensive (time consuming) to do from scratch...)
Yes, that should be a serious concern. If there were a flood of complaints to Apple, it could get them kicked off the App Store. I have no plans to complain to Apple about them, however I'd like to see a very aggressive response from them regarding this hack. Their credibility is at stake here.
I almost started a thread too, I thought it was unusual. I took a screenshot of mine when the notification came through earlier. It was an in app notification for an ad for WhatsFriends. Weird but hopefully they looking into it already. Minor blip on a pretty stellar Bleass history.
Oh crap they are different too…
Mine was from Alpha.
🙄
You mean more threads?
If anyone should happen to complain to Apple, their concerns are valid. I get it. I don't think they can be considered "sneaky" for reporting a security breach.
Apple apps go through an extensive vetting process and for the most part, I've never heard of any such security breach in many years. Only one that comes to mind was when users were getting phished by hackers to gain access to their Photos libraries.
How do you get so many thirsty women hacking into your phone like that?
I'm not going to say their process is perfect, but apps are definitely reviewed and vetted to a degree.
It was me. I didn’t notice that there are already another thread has been started about this. I would delete that thread, but don’t know how.
Earlier in the thread BLEASS said it was their notifications provider which was the responsible party. I had no idea anyone used a third-party provider to send out notifications. Never heard of such a thing.
As far as I'm concerned, the issue is being addressed. It was very disappointing it happened in the first place.
Oh, is that right? That would make sense. Apple probably should be informed by someone then. BLEASS should probably get ahead of the problem and tell Apple themselves.
Thanks,
However since it doesn’t accept the empty caption, I realized I can’t find a new caption that won’t be a click magnet. 🤣🤣🤣
Try "Delete this thread please"?
