Stealthy

Sounds like this guy made the whole article up, there's no solid information and no link to the so-called whitepaper.. why a hacker group would release a whitepaper anyway is beyond me! This guy obviously has some beef with the iPhone as the whole site seems to be dedicated to trashing the product;

His only other articles on the site :-
iPhone is not a best iPod ever
10+ iPhone gotchas
Ooops, first iPhone vulnerability is discovered!
Things which made the iPhone not so hot as it seem...

It doesn't look like the most credible article, but it's possible. The USA is not known for its respect of digital communications privacy.

More about what Lan mentioned can be found here. Good reason to avoid the iPhone...

If they did really find something, I would have expected to see a full demo and report > like this which shows how data can be stolen from the iPhone using malicious code on a web page. Now that's concerning! ; )

Only if they're whitehat hackers. If they're blackhats, they'll be selling the vuln to the highest bidder...
