Earlier this week, the Black Hat security conference saw a demonstration of a method of taking control of an iPhone through spurious SMS messages. Today, Apple patched the vulnerability
Black Hat attracts technical security experts from all over -- and from both sides of the security fence -- to share what they've learned about security breaches with an eye toward thwarting them.
On Tuesday, writer/analyst/hacker Charlie Miller announced that he had developed a way to take over an iPhone through a series of SMS messages.
Miller demonstrated the technique at Black Hat on Thursday.

The announcement gives credit to Miller and to Collin Mulliner for reporting the problem.
