Ok, who has this whitepaper?  I know someone does on this list!  Cough it up :-)

  Seriously, I would like to read that whitepaper if anyone has it.  I seriously doubt that it's true, but it really 
gives me that conspiracy itch that MUST be scratched :-)

  thanks all!

(Cross-posting from F-D. I hate posting on F-D and getting a dozen "out
of office" and "this guy doesn't work here anymore" responses for my
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.
