But with more and more people doing lots of e-mail and SMS messaging on their iPhones - and many of those people using them for business - suddenly you can have a LOT of confidential information floating around on a phone that everyone thought was secure.

I agree, but I'm pretty sure any cell phone on the market will have their share of major security holes, it's not just iphone users that have to worry about being compromised.

Got a link? Or is this just a guess? This is a serious issue. iPhone isn't just a toy anymore as CTO and other heavies in IT started to put them on their corporate network by allowing them to access corporate email. This hack is just too simple to implement. It's not like it takes a day or two of trying to crack someone's pin via brute force attack. It just gives up the info. Think of it like this the iPhone is like France. They have a military and it appears formidable, but as soon as another military knocks on their door and says leave...they turn tail and run. The security provided on the iPhone is a joke. Why even have a pin at all if it doesn't work?
