The iPhones’s are Vulnerable !!! Safari exploit gives hackers complete control over the iPhone.
Monday, July 23, 2007
The most awaited phone of the year. People queued up for it, like they would never lay their hands on the gadget, if they weren’t the first at the crack of dawn to get hold of the IPhone ….
So what have we here???? The a vulnerable piece of hardware, whose creators boasted of more than 200 patents tagged to the device .. Mr. Jobs !!!! 200 !!! & of all things the Browser’s gotta give way
The vulnerability is thanks to the Safari Exploit, which allows the iPhone to run malicious scripts on the phone. The browser has a feature to automatically execute a file, when the extension of the file is “safe”. These files could be inside ziped archive. Now all the hacker does is rename his script to a .safe extension & viola the script is executed.
Once in the phone, the hacker’s got complete administrative access over the phone. Nothing seems to be safe once that’s been granted to the hacker. Robbing the phone of the SMS log, e-mail & other passwords stored on the phone, address book, the complete log of the Calls. Loads of stuff that I would not like someone to steal of my phone .
Apple’s been notified of this & we hope to get some response real soon .. Till then have a look at the safety tips that apple has posted when dealing with mail attachments. The link, CLICK HERE
