Fix For iPhone 3G Security Flaw

Sunday, 31 August 2008

iPhone 3GThose of you who are worried about the iPhone security flaw and can't wait for the official patch from apple, Which is coming next month, are in luck. There is a simple fix that you can use to work around this flaw until the patch becomes available.

The fix involves changing what a double click of the home button does. As default double clicking the home button opens your favorites, And this is how an attacker gains access to your iPhone. Simply set the double clicking of the home button to open the ipod function instead, Sure an attacker can still listen to your music, But surely finding out that you listen to blink 182 and creed is better than phoning your mum for phone sex or emailing your boss and telling him to shove his job and go fuck himself.

Set the fix:
tap settings > tap general > tape home button > tap ipod - You're done!

Edit; I have just been informed that setting the double click to "home" will bring up the pass screen again, So they don't even have to find out that you listen to shit music.
