iPhone Has Potential Security Problems

Is the iPhone vulnerable to attack when connected to the internet? Some researchers seem to think so. I suppose it is only a matter of time before someone ends up specifically targeting the iPhone for attack.


The iPhone has no security software, but Apple doesn't let people load third-party programs on the device, reducing the risk of infection from malicious software. But when the iPhone is connected to the Web, possibilities emerge, said Marius van Oers, a security researcher with McAfee's AVERT Labs in Amsterdam.
