Hacker Will Break iPhone Security on Video
After iPhone users discovered a major security flaw exposing their private data, Wired.com published a how-to on securing the iPhone. But yikes -- apparently that's not enough, as a hacker has stepped up to the plate to demonstrate how to break through iPhone's security measures.
In a Webcast to be held Sept. 11, hacker and data-forensics expert Jonathan Zdziarski will show how to bypass the iPhone's passcode lock using a custom firmware bundle. The webcast is aimed at educating those in law enforcement to perform forensics on iPhones and iPod touches dropped by criminals. The method would allow them to recover, process and remove sensitive data from said devices.
"This live presentation is aimed towards law enforcement and anyone else who has a need to access the not-so-readily available data on an iPhone," says the webcast description.
