iPhone users “get the message”

News last week coming out of the Black Hat Securities Conference in LA, was that the iPhone was vulnerable to being hacked.

A malicious SMS sent to your iPhone , could allow access to your personal content and contacts, render your iPhone disconnected from your service network or even hijacked.  Nasty!

Since public address of the SMS risk, Apple have responded with a security patch available via iTunes.

To download the 3.0.1 security update, connect your iPhone to your computer, click on the “Check for update” button and follow the on-screen instructions.”

If you haven’t already updated your iPhone, what are you waiting for …?

As usual, cyberspace is abuzz with questions, problems, praise, comments on shortfalls, and concerns…

For some it works well, some lose their jailbreak and/or apps … for some it means heaven!
