It Takes Only Twenty Seconds To Get Into iPhone SMS Database
A very interesting event had been held last week by CanSecWest Security. As written in India-server last Monday, this event was entirely about hacking. Two hackers, Ralf Philipp Weinmann from University of Luxembourg and Vincenzo Iozzo from Zynamics, had made it to get into iPhone sms.
The dynamic duo built a site and put a certain code in, controlling their own server, iPhone SMS database from users login then would be stolen and uploaded to the server they built. Within twenty seconds, iPhone sms defence was broken. Hacker(s) could modify the codes to absorb information they need, like contact list, email, photos, etc. Weinmann and Iozzo then deserved US$15.000 prize for it. It was said that Apple had had an announcement about it, in order to counter the problem.
Some other popular application to be tested are Safari in Snow Leopard, Internet Explorer and Firefox which uses Windows 7. The competition also gave US$10.000 to Nils (researcher from InfoSecurity) for his hacking on Firefox. Charlie Miller from Independent Security Evaluator also took the same amount for his succeed hacking Mac. Hmm.. in my opinion, Firefox, Apple iPhone and Mac must somehow appreciate those hackers for finding their weakness to be better, right ?
