Re: Lies!

I think if you actually ask the Apple folks, yea, they can be hacked. But the difference between Apples and PCs, is a vulnerability on an Apple, requires some sort of user intervention to exploit. Windows machines can be exploited with no user inervention at all. Even the article states the exploit tricked users into opening up a malicious web-site.

 Actually it says:

take control of iPhones through a WiFi connection or by tricking users into going to a Web site that contains malicious code.
Looks like if you have ayour wifi connection open, they can get in as well. I guess you could say that takes user intervention, but so does plugging the network cable/enabling the wifi on your Wintel laptop.
