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.

LMAO @ stupid iPhone fanbois

No, the way I read it, a layout of the filesystem was discovered, not access to it. To run things on the iPhone (ie, external applications) it has to be done through iTunes and the command line with the application tricking the iPhone into thinking it's running the app. Meaning, you'd have to be pretty darn stupid to "accidentally" run an application on your phone.
