Security team claims successful iPhone hack
693229
(InfoWorld) - A team of security experts in Baltimore said it has found a flaw inÂ Apple's iPhone handsetÂ that can be used by attackers to access private data stored on it. Independent Security Evaluators (ISE) said on a Web site dedicated to explaining the flaw and its exploitation that an attacker could gain access to the iPhone through a wireless access point, or through a Web site controlled by the attacker. Numerous hackers have beenÂ working to gain access to the iPhoneÂ in order to activate certain features or to allow it to be used on cellular networks other than AT&T's. However, this is the first major exploitation of an iPhone security flaw. Because the iPhone connects to wireless Internet access networks, such as Wi-Fi, by name, an attacker could create a network with the same name and encryption method as one the handset already uses. The attacker could then substitute a Web page with exploit code to gain access to the phone, ISE said on its Web site. An attacker could also use a link planted on an unedited or unmoderated online forum, or a link sent by SMS or e-mail to use make use of the flaw and gain access to the handset, ISE said. The company said its researchers had required two weeks of part-time work to find the flaw and exploit it. When the iPhone's Safari browser opens a malicious Web page, malicious code can be run on the phone via the flaw, allowing the attacker to read the iPhone's SMS log, address book, call history, and voice-mail information, which are also then sent to the attacker, ISE said. ISE said it would be presenting full details of the exploit and its procedure at the Black Hat 2007 conference in Las Vegas on August 2. Â

According to Saul Hansell at the NY Times, Apple intends to break phones that have been unlocked.  But Francine Hardaway and Patrick Scoble both updated this afternoon, and bad things happened. Hardaway's phone was "fried," she needed a new phone, and Scoble lost all his data. Hardaway: "Trust me, I didn't hack it." Jeff Clavier: "This effing piece of s..t is bricked." Robert Scoble, Patrick's dad, updated successfully, and got the new features. Spaley's iPhone is "a useless piece of crap." Looks like Josh Bancroft's iPhone was hosed too. I would hold off on the update until we find out what's going wrong.  Sugar Attack: "It wasn't until I saw a friend tweet about the new iPhone firmware upgrade that I realized I could now access the iTunes WiFi store."
