I tried this and all my iPhone did is say:
"Would you like to play a game?"
Thermonuclear war sounds a tad more exciting.Hmmm... A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
While we're on the subject of security, has anyone tried accessing the phone data as follows:
- connect phone (while locked) to a new computer and iTunes
- backup iPhone
If iTunes allows to sync the iPhone with the computer without requiring the passcode to unlock the phone, then ALL the data on the phone is backed up to the computer and can easily be accessed by anyone using the computer.
Not in a position to try this out myself, but I think it just might work... iPhone never asks me for the passcode when I connect it to the computer.
This "Major Security Flaw" has been there since 1.0
And no one detected it until now???
WOW
So...
A stranger can have access to the phone app and safari.
... the only two applications that we're all having problems with.
yawn
OK, let me re-phrase myself: it's been there since the "Home Button Double-clicking" option1.0 didn't have the double tap home button option
If it is encrypted, then that's a new feature in 2.0 or iTunes 7 since back when I was in 1.1.3, I could easily access my SMS and calendar from the SQLITE databases that are backed up on my computer. Of course, it takes some time trying to guess which file is which database, but once that trivial task is done, it's very easy to see the data.I think all the backup info is encrypted!

Don't have time to check this now, but I still doubt it's encrypted in any way.
That's a great find by the OP, and a big hole left there by Apple!
Uh, doesn't the apple logo have a hole for a reason?
