Serious iPhone Vulnerability Fixed
A day after a major security issue was annnounced in the iPhone 3.0 software, Apple has released version 3.0.1: Apple Fixes Serious iPhone SMS Attack.
The SMS-based attack described at the Black Hat security conference allows a bad guy to gain complete control of an iPhone by sending a barrage of text messages in a sort of Denial of Service attack.
Needless to say, if you have an iPhone you’ll want to get this update right away. Go to the iPhone section of iTunes and hit the “Check for Update” button.
