WARNING TO APPLE iPHONE OWNERS

Security expert Steve Gibson, (on podcast which will be released tomorrow), just announced that a security expert has found a zero-day exploit in the Apple iPhone's software wherein a hacker, sending you a text message, can take over control of most functions of the iPhone without your knowledge (ie: turn on microphone, download data, etc).

The security expert who found the hack, has promised Apple not to release details of the "hole" until this coming weekend, in order to give Apple time to fix the problem.

Apparently text messaging in the iPhone cannot be disabled, so all phones are vunerable. Apple is reportedly working 24 hours a day to fix the problem and hopes to have a fix by this weekend (US Time/Date).

Recommend iPhone owners regularly check Apple's website for fix availability/details.
