Techniques to attack iPhone via SMS demonstrated Charlie Miller, a security system from the observer Independent Security Evaluators and Collin Mulliner, student S3 field in the Network Security Telecommunications Technical University of Berlin in the Black Hat conference held in Las Vegas, on Thursday (30 / 7).

They show how the attack can be crippling iPhone so that it cannot use again. It is all about how to send an SMS message containing a code that cannot see the victim. Code using the slit to enable them and kill a number of important software.

Other attacks can even control the victim's iPhone remotely. To do so, attackers send a SMS to 500 victims of the iPhone continuously. Message is contains the required code and utilize the active rift system on the iPhone revenues to respond to messages that come so much.

According to Miller, the attack through the short message will be the future trend. The reason, slit used in the main phone system, which is always active.

"That is the most well-worn means to perform the attack. I just need a phone number. During their phone on, I can send messages and the phone is doing something according to the command," said Miller.

They said that iPhone users needed to remind about this disability. The Apple itself must also find ways to overcome it. Of this problem, the Apple has actually contacted since the beginning of July for the right deal, but until now, they have not made meaningful action.

Same techniques hackers also used to break the mobile phone using Google Android OS. Fortunately, at that time was unaware Google and creates a patch soon.
