iPhone hacker, iPhone virus fix?

iPhone users are worried right now. Charlie Miller who is an iPhone hacker and researcher found an iPhone security hole last month and intends to release the bug during the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas on Thursday.

There had been iPhone activation problems last month and if this security risk will not be addressed quickly, expect a new iPhone virus to spread and complaints about the device to arise any day. Users need the iPhone security fix!

For instance, OverClock forum is already reporting a “New iPhone virus”?

So, I’m at work right now, customer comes in with a question about his iPhone. He opens safari, and sure enough, he has one of the windows-oriented fake Anti-virus virus infections running on his phone, apperantly thinking the safari app is running on a windows PC. We couldn’t get it to kill off either, and would not let Safari be closed. No results searching for it on Google, yahoo, or here, we even called Apple and got the typical “can’t happen unless jailbroken” line, when this is NOT that virus.

Are you experiencing the same?
