Yesterday, security researcher Charlie Miller gave Apple a good pantsing at the SyScan conference in Singapore. Miller, who is the author of “The Mac Hacker’s Handbook,” revealed that the iPhone allows remote code installation and execution through SMS, a security hole that Apple is working to patch up. That means that a hacker could potentially turn the iPhone into a remote tracking device by exploiting its microphone and GPS capability, or do whatever else he or she pleases.
