iPhone virus or spyware likley
Apple’s reputation for bullet-proof security could soon be blown away, with the most high-profile attack targetting its coolest device – the iPhone. An iPhone virus, spyware or other piece of malicious software is almost inevitable. “It’s 80-90% likely that we will see malware targetting the iPhone” predicts Runald, Security Response Manager for F-Secure Security Labs. The fact that iPhone fans can so quickly crack Apple updates which are supposed to re-assert Apple’s control over the device should be warning enough, Runald says. It’s essentially ‘proof of concept’ that an iPhone virus could easily be unleashed.
