Screenshot 2009-11-19 to 02.31.55Hello iPhone users, new hacker attacks on our devices are now being carried out via Wi-Fi.



iPhone users are now seeing other cases of attacks through public Wi-Fi networks, such as those found in supermarkets, department stores, or anywhere that offers free internet. This happens regardless of whether your device is jailbroken or not. Once they access your system, they steal your email accounts, contacts, and anything else that might be important or not so important to them. This isn't just happening with iPhones and iPod Touches; attacks have also been reported on Nokia N95s. Therefore, the only way to avoid these attacks is to NOT use these public or free networks.
