iPhone wide-open to hacks sent via text

An expert Mac hacker is warning that Apple iPhones are vulnerable to binary code attacks sent via text that could give the hacker complete control of the phone.

Charlie Miller is reportedly an authority on MacOS X security, and is a co-author of The Mac Hacker's Handbook.

Binary code can be sent to mobile devices using SMS, but normally any sent code isn’t executed.
