After yesterday's SMS fuzzing demonstration by cyber-security experts Charlie Miller and Collin Mulliner, we felt a little vulnerable knowing that all it took was one jerk hacker in the audience of the Black Hat conference to build an app and our precious iPhones could turn into zombie phones.
We're going with the term zPhones. Copyright implied 2009.
Well good news from the BBC for all of nervous iPhone-owning Nellys. An O2 spokesperson told the news organization that a patch would be available on Saturday to fix the SMS issue. Keep an eye on iTunes tomorrow for the expected fix. Whew, we feel better already.
Of course, Apple had no comment on the issue.
