There were a bunch of troubling points in that article, and if I owned an Iphone, I would be seriously worried at this point.

It would seem to me that apple has fllen victim to its own marketing drivel that somehow an apple OS is more secure than anything else. Security through obscurity is no security at all, and what is worse is that with the widespread popularity of the Iphone, that platform is no longer going to be all that obscure.

Seems like fun times are ahead for iphone users.

not knocking Mac, I think it's a great machine, but I'd be concerned about connecting a compromised iphone by networking it to my Mac. Looks like the iphone just *might* become the front door for Apple hacking. Personally, I hope not, and I'm a PC user.

Time will tell, I guess.
