Loading ...Apple iPhone Security weakness exposed on YouTube
Jonathan Zdziarski, an iPhone developer and forensics instructor, has challenged Apple's claims that the iPhone 3GS is security-ready for business and government. Zdziarski posted two tutorials on YouTube demonstrating how to access confidential data stored on the Smartphone. The security expert was able to access deleted files more than a year old.
In one of the two videos posted Friday, Zdziarski demonstrates how user-created iPhone passwords can be easily circumvented. The other video shows how a hacker can download a raw disk image that would provide personal information, deleted voice mail and email, information stored in the keyboard cache and other data.
"iPhone security is not really enterprise-great, in my opinion, and I sincerely hope Apple fixes these issues," Zdziarski said in one of the tutorials. "At the same time, the consumer really needs to know that the device is not secure and considers that risk when considering whether or not to use this in a business environment or a government capacity."
Apple company executives have claimed that data encryption technology at the hardware level, as well as other security features, make the iPhone 3GS suitable for business or government use.
