August 4, 2009 | Cell Phones, iPhone, Security | 1 CommentFollowing our post last week about the virus which is apparently a threat to the iPhone has created a ComputerWorld article about the potential risks and what you need to do to try to do to stay clear of the virus.
First, the virus exploits a memory corruption, the corruption is deep in how the iPhone handles SMS messages, if you have the misfortune of being the target of a hacker, you will receive a text message in the text, there will be a place, After that, the attacker will then have to send 511 messages anther to complete the hack, those 511 messages May be silent and invisible to the user. Apparently, all you have to do if you receive the message is square, or turn your phone or switching to flight mode.
If you have the misfortune to be infected with the key May vary however it seems he will first turn on your device Denial of Service (DOS) will not allow you to make or receive calls but also sending text spam to your contacts, the virus then spreads. Personal data on the handset in May also be at risk. One of the most frightening things about the infection is that it can be almost completely silent, and requires user interaction.The good news is that the virus is not yet a large number of potential virus no, I hope Apple patches security flaw, and it does not affect anyone.
