A new iPhone bug has come into picture

All iPhone users, beware!! As you may get hacked and some of your vital information may get leaked. As per the researchers there is an existing bug in iPhone which could let hackers get into your phone. This bug allows users to take control of iPhone and iPad apps, using them to steal people's photos, contacts and even send text messages without the device's user knowing about it.

World's most popular Apple hacker Charlie Miller identified this bug alerted Apple to the bug three weeks ago and the company told him a fix was in the works. Though Apple never declared it in public and notified its users.

As per Miller, he identified the bug and reported to avoid any further hacking with bad intentions but Apple did not respond the way it should. Instead, Apple banned Miller from the iOS developer program for a year. Not only this the app Instastock, which Miller uploaded on App Store is also removed for this.

No doubt, App Store is still far safer than Android Market. But Apple should really fix the bug at the earliest and update the existing users for the same rather than punishing Miller for his generous effort.
