How secure is the iPhone?

Apple has always been known for the products being safe and secure, which is probably why they are possibly getting a bit worried about the news that the iPhone their latest icon product may be at risk to attack.

It could well be possible that there are pieces of spyware and malicious software being developed that will breach the security measures and make the iPhone someone else’s tool for accessing the web and doing all sorts of unspeakable things.

According to F Secure Security Labs, there is a real possibility around 80% to 90% that there will be a successful breakthrough in the targeting of the iPhone. However Apple has released the 1.1.2 update that will prevent third party software from being run on the device. But as we all know these can easily be overcome and then what? Another update!
