A SMS Hijack to every iPhone in the World

Receiving a text message with a single square character on Thursday could cause you to tread into deep panic and I would suggest shutting down your iPhone, immediately. 

Using a flaw the researchers have found in the iPhone's handling of text messages they can send a series of invisible SMS messages that can give a hacker complete power over any of the iPhone's functions without you knowing. All of this includes dialing, messaging, app functions, picture ability, and even theft of your contact lists numbers. 

So far the only way you can stop this from happening to yourself is to shut down your phone till the end of Thursday night, something most people are not willing to do. Apple has been notified of this situation countless times however the company hasn't stated or released a patch meaning according to Apple they are safe.

The SMS bug is just one of the many researchers are looking out now in terms of the iPhone's security backdoors that Apple has left open. This was found in the iPhone's code that a private developer has found meaning he must know what he is doing. The vulnerability level according to the developer is a 10 meaning anyone that knows what they are doing could take over every iPhone in the world. 

These bugs are not only in the iPhone though however in the Windows Mobile platform phones as well as the Android, however those companies have listened and have patched each of there phones to date.
