iPhone in security hole shocker

Link: Exploiting the iPhone

It’s only been a few weeks since the launch of Apple’s long awaited iPhone, but already someone’s found a security vulnerability – and a rather serious one at that.

The hack – discovered by ex-NSA (and now principle security analyst) security guru Dr. Charles A. Miller, allows someone to potentially take control of an iPhone through a WiFi connection or an external website running malicious code.

Apple are reported to be on the case, although details of a patch to fix the hole have yet to be announced.
