Anti-sec movement, is that you?Would you perhaps prefer no one to know about it until someone with less noble purposes finds it and decides to steal peoples information, or write some worm that takes down the entire phone system?With that said I hope they contacted Apple first and gave them a chance to fix the exploit.
"Miller and Mulliner said they contacted Apple about the SMS exploit a month ago, but the company has not released a software update to fix the issue".... Surprised?
I agree, and to add too that I would say that Microsoft has gotten more than its fair share of crap of security and usability bugs. Vista (with SP1), Windows 7 and the Zune are really turning the tide and making Microsoft products look good. Now its Apple's turn, can they handle the spotlight of being the posterboy for smart phones? Can the iphone make the cut as the dominant smart phone platform?Only time will tell.
