Security Flaw In iOS 4.1 Gives Access To iPhone Contacts, Make Calls, Send Emails, MMS Even With Passcode Lock
Some members of Macrumors forums have discovered a security flaw in iOS 4.1. The security flaw allows someone to get access to the iPhone Contacts and also send an email or MMS even with passcode protection using a combination of a sleep button and fake emergency call even if it...

tried it..took me to called list...apple should be busy with its shitty ios rather than playing cat and mouse between dev team...i am so glad that didnt buy an iphone 4 and will never any iphone shitty...
-
So, let me get this straight...you tried this, so you have an iPhone. So, why stalk an iPhone website (you're on iPhonehacks.com) and write posts hating on iPhone. if you don't like it, sell your iPhone on Craigslist and find a different site.

Ok you Have serious issues or something. Apple is only trying to protect themselves. Let me tell you something. If Apple really REALLY wanted to keep jailbreakers at bay, they could. Jailbreaking is what makes the iPhone so awesome, but in order to keep in agreements with the telephone companys they have to at least appear to make efforts to try and keep their playform secure. This is not such a bad security hole, just a programming error. Instead of making this public, they should have told Apple in private.

apple cant do **** about J B

hi, it worked for me also on the 4.0!!!
-
on the iphone 3GS!!!!
-
Ask Sony how well stopping the hacker scene worked for them.
-
Stupidity, that's what I call this!!! The perpetrator (hacker) needs to have your iphone physically in their possession to do this.
What's the use of hacking somebody else iphone (actually stealing) just to sent e-mail/mms or make a call? Just re-jb the phone, and you have a backup phone!!!

It wont work on my iphone 4

get a life

Im glad I never leave my phone unattended when outside of my home. I just tried this hack…it works. No special set of numbers needed; all that needs to be done is dial any one number or character in emergency call mode press the call button then quickly press the power button then the phone screen opens. I was not able to get to my email or text message like others reported.
-
Hmm this also worked for me on an iPhone running iOS 4.1
Not too, too worried about this but its a bug that should definitely be addressed.
-
Not too worried either..., someone has to physically have the phone and 99% of the people i know arent computer literate. lol

apple likes the jailbreak because without jailbreak they will not sell to many iphones all over the world so apple wants money and thats why they keep doing the iOS unsecure because they want money......how bout the ipad why they couldnt do a ios specially for the ipad and not being the same as iphone ios so.. apple will not quit being such an aas hole and a stupid comnpany..but later in those years.. apple wil go down and their iphone will be not as famous as their are right now.. so keep buyig iphone or wait until the iphone can be unfamous....the other way they could be unfamous its that the dev team could quit or any hacker for iphones, if they quit the iphone will not be famous and other phone will be the famous....trust me i have seen this already and apple wil fall at some point in the near future..................

iPhoneHack, Does it relates to this one?
I found these 3 hidden unrecognized apps. I only see the apps if I open Spoof or iFile. The apps were hidden and it doesn't show on screen.
1. AdSheet--is for collecting passwords
2. TrustMe-- is for collecting Account numbers
3. WebSheet-- is for collecting Contacts -
I had those randomly appear on my SB from time to time when I was on 4.0 Now that I'm on 4.1 they never show up anymore. IDK what they were.

If an update is released and you update, your jailbreak will be tethered unless @comex creates new magical kernel patches or you downgrade.

can also view the photoalbum through share contact, mms, add photo from roll and bam theres all the photos.

Tried on iPhone 4 version 4.1 didn't work the red button doesn't stay on long to hit sleep button, its a quick flash of the button (that's if you see it, it's that fast) and resets back to emergency screen. My phone is not jailbroken, used to be but I reset it back to original a couple if months back.
-
I concur, the bug is also in 4.0-4.0.2 as well. This goes for all iPhone.
-
what so private about a contact list? i personal dont care if someone sees my contact list, it just names.
-
I was not quick enough the first time but when I came back on the phone I was in contacts but when I locked I was in safari lol
-
Worked for me.
-
wow, tried it and it works. must be a big boo-boo. hope they can clear this flaw asap.
-
Are you the barister of apple and this site?do you guys have to defend anything?you guys are really funny...
-
WTF are you talking about???? Some people are some dumb... bet you run in the liquor store and leave your car running?? O but hold on ONLY a jacker can take your car... not a normal person?
-
you can ask sony also how doing nothing to stop PSP scene worked for them...
-
It works in my iPhone 4 with 4.1... very easy to reproduce...
-
I don't know why this is such a big deal. If someone stole a phone other than Iphone or Android based device, they'd have the same access to the same info. This is completely overblown as you pretty much have to have your phone STOLEN from you in order for the person to make use of this hack.
-
Oh, I forgot. MS has sold 41.7M Xbox360 since Nov'05. Sony 38.1M PS3 since seven months later... So, I don't really get the point on your comment...
