YET is the keyword… iPhone Security Closer.
YET is the keyword… iPhone Security Closer.
By Eric Everson, Founder MyMobiSafe.com
Hackers are continuing to get closer to the dawn of “unofficial” third-party applications for the iPhone. In the past 24 hours access has been obtained to a full interactive shell, which is a major milestone to enabling outside application development. The iPhone was released lacking terminal expansion making it so that no third-party could develop applications without the 1024 RSA key from Apple. Developments are being made by the hour as full access to the iPhone is expected to emerge in the very near future.
The buzz is already circulating about developing iPhone snoopware that will target 16 digit numerical data entries. This is a sign that credit card information will be highly targeted on the iPhone. We are still pushing forward with our development expecting major advances in the days ahead. So far, physical hardware changes are required to obtain shell access, full scripted access yet to come. Apple might have locked this new gadget up tight, but the problem is that locks are usually put on things that can be opened.
As we continue to gain new access we are striving to develop a security solution to protect iPhone users too. A third-party security solution isn’t available yet, but we have it in the works at MyMobiSafe.com.
