The iPhone's security system found a serious vulnerability

As any iPhone user, the device can be protected from unauthorized access with a password. In such cases, to unlock the device, you must enter a four-digit PIN - this feature is set in the device settings window. The result meant that none of the others can not take the iPhone and make a call or to delve into its contents.

However, it turned out that this password protection is not enough. Blogger and a member of LINX Merinfeldt Bernd (Bernd Marienfeldt) and his friend, the guru of security, Jim Herbek (Jim Herbeck) made a small and not very pleasant opening. It turns out that if you connect the iPhone 3GS to the computer installed with an assembly of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, the the user has full access to all data stored in the bowels of the communicator, and may even call with him. And this despite the fact that the iPhone is locked, and access to it is protected by a password. Moreover, we are talking about devices without jailbreaking (security problems in communicators with full access to the file system has long been known). This, according to the researchers - a real problem with the security of data on which Apple team still needs to work.
