According to Forbes, today two researchers Charlie Miller and Collin Mulliner plan on releasing a bug in the iPhone SMS during the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. The bug is said to allow a person to take over an iPhone via SMS.
“Using a flaw they’ve found in the iPhone’s handling of text messages, the researchers say they’ll demonstrate how to send a series of mostly invisible SMS bursts that can give a hacker complete power over any of the smart phone’s functions. That includes dialing the phone, visiting Web sites, turning on the device’s camera and microphone and, most importantly, sending more text messages to further propagate a mass-gadget hijacking.”
If that doesn’t sound scary enough, the only way to prevent the attack is to turn your iPhone off.
“If you receive a text message on your iPhone any time after Thursday afternoon containing only a single square character, Charlie Miller would suggest you turn the device off. Quickly.”
The researchers say that they notified Apple about the bug a month ago however, Apple has not released a fix for it.
Do we know if this is actually true or not… No. Do we know if iPhones all over the world are going to be hacked today… No. If you receive an email with a single square character, should you turn off your iPhone… that is up to you!

Did anybody receive this virus? i don’t think i will be affected much by it as my iphone does not even have a data connection so theres not much of a way the hacker can do things with my iphone….

Last night I was taking some pictures and video and went back to review them and there weren’t in my camera roll. I didn’t think much of it because my iPhone is jailbroken and things like that happen when you test as many apps as we do. I decided to respring my springboard and try again. That didn’t work so I rebooted. Still didn’t work. Now I’m getting worried. I really don’t want to restore my iPhone and start all over again. I did notice that the pictures I was taking were showing up in the little thumbnail at the bottom left of the camera app each time I took one. I then thought my iPhone might be full so, I plugged into iTunes to see. Nope, I had plenty of room. Ah ha! I thought I figured it out. Most cameras name pictures starting with img_0001 and go to img_9999 and start over. I thought it had done that and the pics were starting over at the top of my camera roll… nope.
I then decided to plug in my iPhone and see if the pics and vids were there. They were! And guess what I found? The filenames of the pics not showing up are img_10001 through img_10005. This means there is a major bug in Apple’s firmware. I can’t see the photos in any other apps either. Now I can’t upload them to flickr, facebook, twitter, youtube, etc. The worst part of all? I have no idea how to fix it. The only way I can think of is to restore my iPhone. If you have an idea, I’d love to try it. I’m quite annoyed that it doesn’t work anymore.
Update: I have found a fix:
1. Sync your iPhone to backup and copy all photos off your camera roll using your computer.
2. Use a directory browser such as PhoneView (Mac – download), iPhone Browser (PC – download) or SSH to delete these folders:
3. Now just take a picture and you’ll see it shows up in the camera roll. I noticed that taking a screenshot still used the old numbering scheme. I went back and deleted everything again and rebooted my iPhone and then it works fine.

Apple has released the iPhone OS 3.1 Beta 2 to registered iPhone Developers. The first 3.1 firmware beta added a number of new features to the iPhone OS including non-destructive video edits, Voice Control over Bluetooth and a number of other minor improvements.
According to the release documentation there is no major changes for this second beta version, but more information, usually, comes out once people have time to try it out.
However, there is one major change in the second beta and that is it disables unauthorized AT&T iPhone Tethering. Shortly after the first 3.1 beta was released, there were a number of hacks allowing U.S. AT&T iPhone customers to tether their iPhones, this beta seems to kill that functionality. AT&T will officially support tethering later this summer and it will require an additional plan to get the feature.
