What info can iOS apps access? - http://scripting.com/stories...
Other info any iOS app can access -- 1. Calendar (read/write) and 2. Cellular carrier info via CTCarrier. http://scripting.com/stories...
Users couldn't be more vulnerable. Th funny part is that the reporters and bloggers are probably ALL iPhone users.
The way Apple ships iPhones and iPads is like a default config for a server with all ports open, no passwords required.

"That sounds like a best-practice. That's what I would want any app to do -- check with me first. Maybe I want to do it, maybe I don't. That's the problem I have with what Bijan Sabet wrote. He's a VC who backs a lot of these companies. He basically says any info he has is any app's for the taking. But what if I don't see it that way. What if I, naively, put some sensitive info in my contact database. Like who to call if I get sick. Maybe I don't want everyone to have that info. I understand if he doesn't care. But I do. http://bijansabet.com/post/176... Maybe I keep passwords in those files (I don't). Maybe some people do, mistakenly thinking that it's safe as long as they don't lose the phone. All the time they're thinking that, the data is being spread all over the servers of Bijan's companies."
