Lost iPhone? - Lost passwords!

[UPDATE 22/11/11] iOS firmware versions up to iOS 5 are also affected. See FAQ with further information about the topic: http://bit.ly/o5nq9I

iOS firmware versions up to 4.3.5 and 5 beta2 are also affected. See FAQ with further information about the topic:
http://www.sit.fraunhofer.de/Images/keychain_faq_tcm501-88550.pdf

The paper highlights risks that accompany losing a locked iOS device regarding confidentiality of passwords stored in the keychain. It presents results of handson tests that show the possibility for attackers to reveal some of the keychain entries. For the described approach, the knowledge of the user's secret passcode is not needed, as the protection provided by the passcode is bypassed.

...so many limitations on the iphone, even security is limited...

@DeutscherGospel That's what hackers do, break them. That's what street racers do, break them. That's what taxpayers do, fool them. That's what Steve Jobs do, rip them. Its these researcher-hackers who protect us by sending a clear message to corporations about their system weakness, then only u get a new firmware upgrade. Real hackers won't upload such video, its too valuable!

Wouldnt you want to know if there was a thief in your house? Or would you rather your security system kept it a secret from you?

I'd rather know that not know. And, if I know, then I can protect against their nonsense. And since I now know- I will be deleting ALL my bank stuff from my iPhone.

So thieves cant snatch my crops.

No, you're stupid. Keeping these things secret helps the thiefs. Cause once everybody knows about a flaw, we can fix it. But kept secret, only a view can protect themselfs. It's called full disclosure. ....
