Facebook ID Theft Threat Impacts All iPhones

HardOCP News · Apr 6, 2012

So much for Facebook claiming only jailbroken phones were susceptible to this.

At first glance, the statement appears to indicate that you’re only vulnerable to this kind of profile theft if you jailbreak your device. We have confirmed that this is completely untrue. Your Facebook app on iOS is absolutely vulnerable because using a tool like iExplore, which is what Wright used to perform his white label hack, does not require a jailbreak.

Shh...don't tell the android fanboys that it also affects them.

UPDATE

I’ve been told this also works on Android devices, though I’ve not had the opportunity to put that to the test yet.

Though given the programming oversight in the iOS app, it stands to reason the issue will translate to other platforms.

Well not on my iPhone. I don't have Facebook installed and never will.
