iPhone Security Feature…Not So Secure Against Theft
It appears the password setting on the iPhone is not so secure and is easily circumventable. If your phone is stolen by clicking on “Emergency Call” then double clicking on the home button, it then opens the iPhone up like a can ‘o worms, to your contact list, email, Safari, basically the entire device. iPhone theft will become a rising issue and data theft relating to theft will be an increasing concern.
The iPhone is not alone in being able to work around passwords, pretty much every model of handset’s password can be cracked, when you have physical access to the device it is only a matter of time and effort before the device can be accessed. Although the iPhone security breach is a simple bit of keystrokes, there are password crackers for mobile phones just like laptops.
OK so the iPhone is technically not a USB Hack, but it connects to a computer via USB so technically we can write about it!
