iPhones Bug Infestation Quite High
By: Shayne Rana   |   Jul 18,2007
The iPhone in all its glory may be "all dat" but in reality and this would be expected, it does have a few bugs. Nothing's perfect. But the guys over at SPI Labs have issued a warning urging iPhone users not to use the internet call option in the phone. This feature essentially allows you to make a telephone call using the internet. SPI says that this feature could be misused as a bug in this feature cold probably trick a user into making calls to ‘900’ numbers that cost a lot of money and also keep track of calls made by the user over the net.


Billy Hoffman, lead researcher with SPI Labs said, "Because this vulnerability can be launched from Web sites, everybody who has an iPhone has the potential to get exploited." He also said that SPI contacted Apple on July 6 and is working with the iPhone maker to prevent these types of attacks.

Apart from this the iPhone does have quite a few other bugs. Sixty eight have been reported so far. For more information on the all the apple bugs check out Apple Hound . And if you'd also like to get more info on the SPI bug issue check out PC World .
