Apple’s iOS has Security Flaw!
Source: ForbesIn what is becoming increasingly common occurrence an exploit has been found that puts a dent in the long held myth that Apple’s defenses are impenetrable.
The flaw allows for innocent looking apps to phone home and download new commands which can access users info. This was previously not possible given the security measures Apple put in place for iOS.
Android has been like the Wild West,” says Miller. “And this bug basically reduces the security of iOS to that of Android.”

So what was the flaw? Is this some kind of generic post to get some traffic?
Sorry Murali. Im postinfrom my phone and didn’t realize there were things deleted from my post.
oh man, this seems to be serious issue, executing command from remote machine is real bad!
It just goes to show you can never be too careful. Im sure a patch will be applied very soon.
From the below link, it seems they just a found a way to do this. The app doesn’t exists in real, so they are fine.
