A team of security consultants, employed by a company called Independent Security Evaluators, say they have found a flaw in Apple’s iPhone that allows hackers to take control of the device.

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 Wi-Fi 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.

Considering that you can't do much in regards to having personal information on the iPhone, I don't see the huge disadvantage.


If this was a windows mobile device in which people uses for business and communication systems, then it would be a much bigger deal.
 
Ya but you could get the naked pictures for hippies who bought this phone.
 
I can't wait to see the

Coming from a person that looks to own a machine that must have cost upwards of 5-6 grand, that's really something...
 
The only good "hack" would be to allow this phone to run off a different carrier.

Att/Cingular or whatever it is called these days only has this phone and rollover minutes going for them.


I love being places at the same time as my wife and getting service on my US Cellular phone while she stares at a No Service message :D .
