\"apple-iphone.jpg\"So, some of you camped out for your new toy, others ordered it online. Many of you devoted much time covering the gadget until you were blue in the face. Look- the iPhone is undoubtedly cool… I’m all for shiny toys that make noise. But for all of you Mac Hipsters who have made fun of my loyalty to the PC (you know who you are<\/em>), guess what- your iPhone is has been caught with its pants down…<\/p>\n

The Independent Security Evaluators out of Maryland has exposed the “serious problems with the design and implementation of security on the iPhone<\/a>“. Multiple separate hacks were made. First, ISE used an unmodified iPhone to “surf to a malicious HTML document they had created. When this page was viewed, the payload forced the iPhone to make an outbound connection to a server that the researchers controlled. The compromised iPhone then sent personal data including SMS text messages, contact information, call history and voicemail information over the connection<\/a>.” Uh oh- I see London, I see France…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second vulnerability found was the ability of the hackers to “perform so-called ‘physical actions’ on the iPhone. Using their iPhone to visit a second malicious web page, they forced the device to ‘vibrate for a second’.” <\/p>\n

Other hacks:<\/u>
\n*<\/strong>because apps run with admin priviledges, “a compromise of any application gives an attacker full access<\/em> to the device<\/a>”
\n*<\/strong>“premium-rate rogue-dialler fraud<\/a>”
\n*<\/strong>transforms an iPhone into a bugging device
\n*<\/strong>wirless Internet used to hack and store dialed numbers, texts etc. for later use<\/em><\/p>\n

So, what’s next? Well, for me, I’m sticking with my ol’ Sprint phone. ISE shows that I can hack admin priviledges to your iPhone and use your e-Key to enter homes when that function becomes available (remember, it’s a sleeper hack… I can come back whenever I want to access your iPhone). Or, if I’m a jerk competitor, I can text your buyers telling them the house is no longer available and they smell like garlic and you refuse to work with them, or when I get bored, I can call your wife and tell her that I caught you with Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
