Huge iPhone Cut-and-Paste Tool Security Flaw

Posted by timothy on from the a-sircam-you-can-pay-for dept.

Harry writes "I'm using Pastebud, the new third-party copy-and-paste solution for the iPhone. It's extremely clever, using a Web-based clipboard to get around the fact that Apple doesn't provide one on the phone. Unfortunately, it seems to be giving users access to e-mails that other Pastebud users send to their clipboards. This has happened to me repeatedly and is being reported by other users in Pastebud's Get Satisfaction support forum. Pastebud is operational and still doing this as I write, even though a message at Get Satisfaction says they're working on the problem."

    They've already done that.

    I suspect they should start working on a solution...

    Your lack of understanding of how this thing works (and why) is nearly conclusive proof that too much ramen addles the brain.
