More security problems for the iPhone

You know the iPhone is insecure, thats why you lock the car doors when you leave in the car.  You also know about that the iPhone is watching you.

Now there’s two new tricks to watch out for. One involves links in mail messages. The idea is that you can disguise a link to look like http://www.foodfororphans.com when it really is http://www.foodfororphans/feed/forcedpornodownload.com. See since the mail program truncates the link even when you hold your finger on it for a few seconds you can’t tell that you are about to download really bad porn.

The second flaw concerns mail as well. Mail with images can be used by spammers to make sure that your e-mail account is active and thus know to target you with more spam. This seems like a big deal, who wants to be targeted with more spam? But the majority of spammers don’t seem to be worried about hitting live mails or not. They seem more interested in just sending spam to anything that might possibly be an address.

Well, there are the two new iPhone worries for you today via: ZDNet
