[pchelpers] News: Security firm discovers severe iPhone Safari exploit

By Jacqui Cheng | Published: July 23, 2007 - 10:51AM CT

Security firm Independent Security Evaluators has announced a 
proof-of-concept exploit for Safari on the iPhone that, when executed, 
can transmit personal data from the iPhone to attackers. When a user 
navigates to a page with malicious code, data such as text messages 
(along with full text and phone numbers), voicemails, and contacts can 
be transmitted back to the attacker.
