iPhones are Vulnerable to Hacking
According to a blogger on Wired, one of the unique things about the iPhone is that if a hacker can can access to one application of an iPhone, gaining access to everything on the phone is easy. Some of the potential malice he described is like something from a movie. Imagine if someone can gain remote access to you phone and execute a command that makes the phone take pictures and send them back to the hacker. If I had an iPhone…which I do NOT…I would be putting some kind of make shift lens cover on that puppy right about now. Of course, a hacker can also use malicious code to turn your phone into a listening device. I’m guessing that these real time Spy Versus Spy type applications won’t be used by private citizens that much. The kids will probably just steal you text message history and list of phone numbers.
