The First iPhone Virus?

July 30th, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments

Looks like it was only a matter of time until some dirtbag had to write an iPhone virus and ruin it for people. There is currently an iPhone vulnerability that lets a virus go through via an SMS message. Apple has yet to release a patch.

The virus will appear as an SMS message with a single square. The exploit reportedly makes your phone to be inoperable and also  be remotely controlled.
