That’s right folks, if you happen to own an iPhone as we speak then your handset could be hijacked through a SMS security issue. The whole thing doesn’t stop there! Once you iPhone has been hijacked then all you’re other iPhones from your contact list will be hijacked too. And so on! You get the picture, don’t you? Every iPhone in the world could be hijacked at some point in the future.

What’s the flaw you ask? Well it looks like invisible SMS bursts will allow hackers to gain control over your phone. The security issue has been discovered about a month ago and it will be present at the Black Hat conference if you’re attending. Apple hasn’t issue any fix for now but we’re counting on a future solution for this security issue. In the mean time iPhones all over the world keep functioning so we shouldn’t feel threatened just yet.
