Apple iPhone vulnerable to unauthorized access

Independent Security Evaluators has announced that Apple iPhone is vulnerable to hacker attacks, that can allow your foes to obtain access to information stored int the handset's memory. The device can be overrun via Wi-Fi wireless connection, and also a special web-page, that an iPhone user has to open in Safari (naturally, a victim can be persuaded to do so in a variety of ways).

The researches over at Independent Security Evaluators claim to have tested it with their own hands - they wrote a script, embedded it in a web-page and then used Safari on the iPhone to open it. This way, the experts say, they managed to access confidential information stored in the handset's memory - call history, messages, contacts, passwords and other things. On top of that, with these manipulations done, one can controls the cracked iPhone remotely - send messages, make calls, record audio and so on.

Independent Security Evaluators has already forwarded the information on iPhone vulnerability to Apple. For the time being, in order to keep out of such problems, the users are offered to visit only known and trusted web-sites (which doesn't sound too promising, to be honest).
