iPhone Targeted Yet Again

A newly released hacking tool can steal personal data gathered by an iPhone app. European researchers discovered the so-called iPhone/Privacy.A malware. It targets jailbroken iPhones and iTouch handsets via a wireless network. The attacker would run the tool on a desktop or laptop machine and be able to identify and break into a jailbroken iPhone or iTouch via WiFi or via the same mobile network. Hackers could even install this tool on their own iPhones and use it to scan for jailbroken phones.”]
