The official Apple response is both terrifying and humbling.

YOU'RE HOLDING THE PHONE THE WRONG WAY YOU ASSWIPE.

That's why I love Apple. Not only do they give us revolutionary devices, they are benevolent enough to instruct us on how to use them.

bitches need to include handles then.

[djsynchro]

Just avoid holding it in that way.

It... it... it... ju$%@#$%@#$^@%#^

[H20nly]

"doesn't", the word you're looking for is "doesn't".

[crofter]

Style over functionality has always been the watchword for apple products so what's the problem?

[dum]

I doubt Apple would overlook this obvious issue in testing.

Agreed.

The fix is a piece of rubber (yes, a piece of rubber) that retails for $30 (yes, a piece of rubber for $30 {yep, $30 [ya ya, seriously..$30]})

CHA-CHING!

[beats me]

I'm about to head out for the weekend and am still recovering from the 5.5 hours I stood in line to get my RESERVED iPhone yesterday.

PS When massed together Apple fanboys really are a big glob of douche.

^ *gasp* but dum... its a piece of rubber molded to hold an iPhone!! Surely this means something...

This is an email from a co-worker... I thought of many of you when I read it:


This is the link to the iPhone vulnerability I told you about where an Ubuntu machine can access the data on the iPhone. Oh, and the updates seems to indicate that you can reproduce the flaw with a Windows machine using iTunes which allows even greater access to data.:


http://marienfeldt.wordpress.com/2010/0 ... framework/

Update 17/05/2010: Apple’s iPhone 3GS broken authentication model:
“This data protection flaw exposes music, photos, videos, podcasts, voice recordings, Google safe browsing database, game contents… by in my opinion the quickest compromising read/write access discovered so far, without leaving any track record by the attacker. It’s about to imagine how many enterprises (e.g. Fortune 100) actually do rely on the expectation that their iPhone 3GS’s whole content is protected by encryption with an PIN code based authentication in place to unlock it.
The contents sample have been collected off a non jail broken iPhone 3GS (with latest iPhone OS installed, all apps fully up to date and immediately PIN lock enabled) by simply connecting it powered off via USB to a Linux Lucid Lynx PC (10.04) and then switched back on – being automatically mounted with given insecurity and never been attached to the PC before.”

Update 27/05/2010:
Apple could reproduce the described serious issue and believes to understand why this can happen but cannot provide timing or further details on the release of a fix.

Update 31/05/2010:
heise Security did manage to access a full backup of the iPhone by connecting the device to iTunes under Windows, using the flaw I uncovered recently. They could read notes, SMS-messages and even passwords in plaintext.

Update 01/06/2010:
The H Security explains their associates findings from heise Security in English:
“While with Linux only a few selected folders on the iPhone were displayed, Windows allowed full system access. For instance, it was no problem to create a complete backup using iTunes, including items such as notes, text messages and even plain text passwords.”

i dunno why this is so funny to me... but it is.

Welcome Apple INC!!.. to the headache that Microsoft has been wrestling while you've been engrossed in... art.

finger painting and playing with crayons vs. mowing the yard and pulling the weeds
wine and cheese vs. meat and taters

if only 7% could have been enough... but alas, the real world awaits.

The fix is a piece of rubber

This changes everything. Again.

interestingly, the same fix applies for population and STD control.
