Default iOS hack using FlashSMS

Please Login to Remove!

FYI for you iPhone, iTouch, iPad users out there, especially those that use ActiveSync to access your company's mail server(s).

A new hack has been found which uses FlashSMS to gain access to your data - and potentially your company's data. Here's some information on it:

Has your iPhone been hacked???

I was contacted earlier this week by people who had Flash SMS’s to their iPhones with some very scary words. During the remainder of this week I have been exposed to numerous more phones, including one in Florida, who have had sensitive information flashed up to the screen.
