iPhones Vulnerable to New Remote Attack

There are several flaws in the way that the iPhone handles digital certificates which could lead to an attacker being able to create his own trusted certificate and entice users into downloading malicious files onto their iPhones. The [vulnerability] is the end result of a number of different problems with the way that the iPhone handles over-the-air provisioning, trusted root certificates and configuration files. [This potentially means] a remote hacker may be able to change some settings on the iPhone and force all of the user's Web traffic to run through any server he chose and also to change the root certificate on the phone, enabling him to man-in-the-middle SSL traffic from the iPhone.

While advances in technology have made mobile access to the internet easy to use and readily available, it's easy to forget the security risks that exist. This write up at threat post brings to light a potentially serious risk in the iPhone.

Security risks exist on all platforms; the best thing we can do to protect ourselves is be aware of what we're doing. Pay attention to what we're clicking on. It may be the provider's responsibility to offer as secure a platform as possible, but we are ultimately responsible for how we use that platform.

The Milkyway Transit Authority

Our galaxy is unimaginably vast, and we really have no idea what is out there. We are discovering new planets in other star systems all the time, learning new facts about the galactic core, and even learning about whole new portions of the galaxy. This map is an attempt to approach our galaxy with a bit more familiarity than usual and get people thinking about long-term possibilities in outer space.

Samuel Arbesman, postdoctoral fellow at Harvard, created this great map of our galaxy in transit map form.

The image is available for download from his site.
