Risk: Informational
According to security researchers, hackers could take over your iPhone.
The method is a simple text message containing one square character. The flaw is in the way the devices handle text messages, which could allow hackers to gain complete control of the handset.
The hack would come in the form of a burst of SMS messages which contain a single character. They would give the hacker control of the iPhone in order to dial out, visit websites, use the camera and also send text messages to other iPhone devices, allowing control of them as well.
