trouble.)

"Russian hackers found a built-in function which sends all data from an
iPhone to a specified web-server. Contacts from a phonebook, SMS, recent
calls, history of Safari browser - all your personal information can be
stolen."

Does anyone out there believe this? It's a bit ham-handed for Apple.
