iPhone's PIN-Based Security Transparent To Ubuntu

Posted by timothy on from the so-I-hope-you-were-using-pig-latin dept.

ndogg writes "Security experts found that the iPhone 3GS has very little security, even with a PIN set up. They plugged one into Ubuntu 10.04, and it was automounted with almost all of the iPhone's data exposed. This has been reported to Apple, but the company seems to be having difficulty reproducing the problem."
