14 Sep 08 iPhone Security Flaw Allows Access To Personal Data

A new security flaw has been discovered that allows unauthorized access to private data stored on an iPhone. When a user sets up a passcode lock for the iPhone, the device still allows some information to be accessed. This means that anyone with access to the device can see certain data that is stored on your iPhone. Although this may be a security flaw in a way, it could also be useful. It could be used to store emergency contact information and numbers so that people could access it without knowing the passcode to gain access to the entire device. I think Apple should build this in as a more prominent feature instead of having it kind of hidden so that people think its a security flaw.
