If you receive a text message on your iPhone any time after Thursday afternoon containing only a single square character, Charlie Miller would suggest you turn the device off. Quickly.
That small cipher will likely be your only warning that someone has taken advantage of a bug that Miller and his fellow cybersecurity researcher Collin Mulliner plan to publicize Thursday at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. Using a flaw they've found in the iPhone's handling of text messages, the researchers say they'll demonstrate how to send a series of mostly invisible SMS bursts that can give a hacker complete power over any of the smart phone's functions. That includes dialing the phone, visiting Web sites, turning on the device's camera and microphone and, most importantly, sending more text messages to further propagate a mass-gadget hijacking.
thats just a small bit of the article you can find
Here that was posted in Forbes the other day, my friend from the LG-Vu.com site posted this in our Real World news Section so i figured i'd share it with you guys...but read the whole article, it shows a MAJOR flaw in the SMS system of the iPhone, and like other phones, it was only a matter of time, but i figured i'd share this with the iPhone3GS.org community
