It appears that the first “real” large-scale legitimate hack of the iPhone has finally occured by simply using text messages. Of course the same hack has occured on several other types of phones, but it sounds like Apple has been a little slow to fix this one. This is of course only expected. The more popular Apple becomes the more hacking it will get. Hopefully they will learn how to keep up with security patches as quickly as microsoft does (since they have a great deal of practice with it ;o)
