A team of researchers SMobile Systems in order to verify the reliability of the protection of the smartphone Nokia N95 (Symbian), HTC tilt (Windows Mobile), T-Mobile G1 (Android) and Apple iPhone 3GS I tried crack this defense and get confidential data transmitted to the user device via a wireless network Wi-Fi. they were carried out attacks such as MITM (man-in-the-middle - man in the middle), when data is transmitted via Wi-Fi technology, easily intercepted.
To intercept the traffic used by programs such as Arpspoof and sslstrip, and researchers have successfully got hold of user names and passwords of electronic boxes of all subjects, to have access to Wi-Fi. Moreover, in the case of the iPhone to get the data by email, and happen with Safari, and most mail application.
In general, the same vulnerability is also characteristic of the rest three communicators.
This study concluded that the use of smart phones in public places where there is access to the Internet using Wi-Fi, safe. So phone owners warn that confidential information must be adequately encrypted. It is also said that it is desirable to use a proven network of Wi-Fi, and smartphones to install protection that will not allow fraudsters to capture private information.
