Apple Fixes iPhone SMS Security Flaw

Apple has fixed that SMS security flaw after a live demonstration of the attack was given at Black Hat. I like how they brag about fixing it 24 hours after it went public…but failed to do anything a month ago when they were told about it. Hit the update button to get your fix.

This morning, less than 24 hours after a demonstration of this exploit," Neumayr continued, "we've issued a free software update that eliminates the vulnerability from the iPhone. Contrary to what's been reported, no one has been able to take control of the iPhone to gain access to personal information using this exploit.
