iPhone Update Improves Security, Erases Hacks
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
The iPhone Update 1.0.1 published on Wednesday not only fixes a potential security problem discussed at the Black Hat 2007 conference, but also checks for software modifications, hacks, that the user may have installed and deletes them, according to IDG News Service.
The security vulnerability involves Safari and was discovered by researchers at Independent Security Evaluators. It would allow a malicious Website to access data on the iPhone.
Some hackers who have worked to modify the iPhone’s firmware have reported that the new update process wipes the iPhone firmware if changes are detected and uploads Apple’s updated firmware.
However, not all tools that developers have devised are affected. The "Jailbreak" code appears to still be able to upload personalized ringtones.
Similar reports of Apple’s detect, erase, and update process appeared right after users took delivery of the Apple TV.
