Your iPhone has a Huge Security Flaw



The iPhone 3G's password gate can be broken down with just two taps

The invincible iPhone has been jailbroken, pwned and now get ready to hear this -- your private data is not secure; even if you have password-locked your iPhone. With the latest iPhone 2.0.2 update: just a simple tap and your password can be bypassed, and access to personal data such as SMS messages, your inbox, your contact list is just taps away! Scary stuff. The process to bypass your password? As easy as ABC, or rather just A and B --
1. Tap emergency call. 2. Double tap the home button. That's it, you are in -- password bypassed. To prevent this breach, you need to change some interface behaviour.


As Gizmodo puts it: 1. In the iPhone home, go to Settings 2. Click on General 3. Click on Home Button 4. Click on either "Home" or "iPod"
