Watered Down Phishing Protection In IPhone OS 3.1?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-feel-better-already dept.

CrazyCanucklehead writes "Security Researcher Michael Sutton discusses his findings when looking at the advertised anti-phishing features in the recently released iPhone OS 3.1. It turns out that the protection is far less than what is provided in OS X and the feature may not provide any protection at all."

    Given that the iPhone OS 3.1 was just released yesterday, I've got to wonder just how thoroughly this blogger investigated anything.

    Note that doesn't mean I think the features in question are good or bad - but really, I'm not going to put much stock into anything anyone wrote up after at most a few minutes of use.

    Sigh... I'll be so happy when blogs die their already-overdue natural death.
