Apple releasing OS 3.0.1 may have fixed the SMS vulnerability that was found by Collin and Charlie but now, Luis Miras and Zane Lackey, have managed to find yet another hole in the firmware meaning that even with 3.0.1 – we are still not safe!
This problem is apparently an operator problem. And the operator in question, GSM Alliance, has been notified.
This exploit involves sending the victim an SMS with a clickable link in it. Once the person clicks on the link the hacker has complete control of the iPhone.
All that we ask is IF you end up with a text message like so, simple delete it or turn off your phone until further notice. Hackers are looking into this and are acting fast upon this threat.
