Major iPhone Flaw Found
Major iPhone Flaw Found
Take over an iPhone via Wi-Fi 10:51AM Monday Jul 23 2007 The New York Times notes that a flaw has been found in the iPhone that could let hackers take complete control of the device. This flaw (and other yet-to-be-discovered flaws) are available because all applications on the iPhone run as "root": The researchers, working for Independent Security Evaluators, a company that tests its clients’ computer security by hacking it, said that they could take control of iPhones through a WiFi connection or by tricking users into going to a Web site that contains malicious code. The hack, the first reported, allowed them to tap the wealth of personal information the phones contain. ...like your pirated Richard Marx discography. "We’re looking into the report submitted by I.S.E. and always welcome feedback on how to improve our security," says Apple. More details about the flaw have been posted by the researchers here. Code:
