Highlighted iPhone bad news… just don’t panic…

At the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, an iPhone security flaw has come to light. The iPhone security flaw–which exploits a weakness in SMS text messaging to take control of the device–appears real, but will probably be addressed before it becomes a serious issue.

Apparently hackers can exploit this vulnerability to knock users off the network and there is a risk of personal information being stolen. The hacks have been tested on four iPhones on a German network, and the folks over at Black Hat think criminals only need about two weeks to write software to exploit this vulnerability.
