iPhone vulnerable to hacker attacks: researchers

Miller and Collin Mulliner, a Ph.D. student at the Technical University of Berlin, also discovered a method for hacking the iPhone that lets hackers easily knock a victim's iPhone off a carrier's network.

It prevents users from making calls, accessing the Internet and exchanging text messages, they added.

They said the information they presented at Black Hat will give criminals enough information to develop software to break into iPhones within about two weeks.

That was directed at you. I think you took it wrong. LOL.

Btw.. Apple's security mailing list just delivered the notes for 3.0.1, Also worth noting that the SMS exploit is not endemic to the iPhone alone; both Android and Windows Mobile platforms can be attacked with similar techniques, although Google tells BW that the issue on Android phones is now fixed (presumably through carrier action on T-Mobile's side, not confirmed though).
