iPhone Flaw Lets Hackers Take Over

A team of security consultants, employed by a company called Independent Security Evaluators, say they have found a flaw in Apple’s iPhone that allows hackers to take control of the device.

The researchers, working for Independent Security Evaluators, a company that tests its clients' computer security by hacking it, said that they could take control of iPhones through a Wi-Fi connection or by tricking users into going to a Web site that contains malicious code. The hack, the first reported, allowed them to tap the wealth of personal information the phones contain.
