Vulnerabilities are there as always! If anyone says there no vulnerability in software hardware it means he is not familiar with these software or hardware. Now I just want to ask you are you an iPhone user? Of course you are that is the only reason you are reading this post.
Have you ever unlocked your iPhone? If yes then read this post till the end. Now if you type your PIN code every time you unlock your iPhone then you must pay regards to the security measures implemented in your iPhone.
There is a bit of vulnerability in entering your PIN every time you unlock your iPhone. PIN can allow any user to pick up your phone and make call. User can also send email to your colleagues saying that you are quitting and becoming an exotic dancer apart from all these issues users can also go into your data and access it, of course you won’t like all this.
Bernd and his security fellow Jim Herbeck discovered that if you plug your non-jailbroken iPhone 3GS into a Ubuntu Lucid Lynx machine, it still allows anyone to read all your iPhone memory data even if the iPhone is locked.
Hackers are just an inch away from getting the write access to your iPhone, like hackers are getting a buffer overflow error, rest they have read access to your iPhone. If hackers gets the write access to your iPhone can surely start making calls. Security researchers believe that only problem is the lack of data encryption makes iPhone vulnerable. There is another problem of digitall signing of e-mails.
