I just bought a used iPad off of my friend Chuck Tomasi. After all this thing has been through I think I found a security hole. Let me explain.

First off, I know Chuck wiped and restored the iPad before he sent it to me because iTunes was required for me to register it when I got my hands on it. When iTunes came up it asked me if I would like to restore a backup from my previous iPad, I did. During that process iTunes puts back all the apps that I had by reinstalling them. Afterwards everything looked great…until I opened Pandora.

I opened Pandora to play some music and I noticed I wasn’t logged in, but Chuck still was with all his stations and everything. I have not heard of anyone else having this problem, but I thought is could be a potential security hole that people need to watch out for when selling or buying used iPads.

Has anyone else had this happen? Leave comments below.
