Got Root?....(c;]

From the webpage:
"But news today of a security flaw that exposes all data on the iPhone may
have enterprises thinking twice. The flaw discovered by security researcher
Bernd Marienfeldt allows anyone to view data stored in the DCIM directory
by simply hooking it up to a PC. However, when hooked up to Ubuntu 10.04
(Ubuntu Lucid Lynx), the entire file system of the iPhone is available.
This includes access to passcode-protected files without the need for a
passcode."

Here's the finder's blog with LOTS of great info and pointers.

One of the German responders has used the hack to put the ringtones HE
wants on his iPhone....without Stevies permission!

Oh, the horror of it all....

Probably NOT a good idea to store your bank account passwords in this box
at the moment.
