I’ve just finished reading this interesting article on an iPhone vulnerability which (could) propagate via SMS messaging and is due to be revealed at Black Hat in Las Vegas on Thursday (US time).
While currently unpatched, I imagine it’s got the attention of the team at Apple (though they haven’t responded – yet) so, in the meantime – be careful what you should you receive a txt message with a small square as the contents, the vulnerability allows the attacker to take control of many of the devices functions – including the microphone and camera. 😯
