iPhone Major Security Flaw Discovered

Categories: Apple, Featured, iphone, ipod | add this page to Mister Wong

OK iPhone haters, don’t just start the “I told you so!” celebration just yet. Yes the iPhone is said to have a certain security flaw but we don’t know what it is. Actually very few people know about it and they are probably developing a way to fix it. Piergiorgio Zambrini, an Italian systems engineer that developed the Ziphone application, has applied for a job with Apple as a security engineer for the Apple’s finest cell phone. He is said to have discovered a security flaw in the audio portion of Apple’s video format which could be exploited by anyone who would be aware of it. Such activities will make crash your iPhone and your iPod and other Apple devices too. Apple didn’t hire him quite yet, but once it does we’re going to let you know more about it. Via Mobilewhack
