If you give physical access to nearly ANY computer, it can be hacked.

is an ATM a computer? I have physical access to them and so do hackers but other then tricks by having stupid users enter their pins and have their cards scanned by another computer I don't think ATMs are getting hacked even though we all have physical access to them.

I'm glad Apple doesn't make ATM security...the banks would go broke.

This isn't hacking at all; this is copying the entire file system. Making a duplicate of all the data, so you can sort through it as you want.

Plug phone into computer, drag and drop files, and unplug. No hacking or cracking needed.

And it happens on a phone that's supposedly protected by a PIN to keep it "locked" from anyone using it. Don't even try to enter a PIN, just plug it in!
