AFP hack allows root access to iPhone

Did you allow your users to bring iPhones into your organization? Don't say we didn't warn you. An iPhone hacker going by the name of "Core," has uncovered a previously unknown AppleTalk Filing Protocol vulnerability that allows for full read/write access to an iPhone or iPod Touch's memory. This is bad news for enterprise iPhones: such a hack could easily allow access to the contents of a stolen iPhone, including confidential emails and documents. Hopefully, Apple will see fit to patch this exploit in its next firmware release for the iPhone. Until then, make sure that your users keep their devices extra secure.
