IPhone Security Flaw Allows Bypassing of Password

Apple iPhone 3g owners, look out... there's another flaw you need to know about!

Apple has promised to fix an iPhone security flaw that lets people bypass a password designed to protect personal information on a user's phone.

First discovered by MacRumors and confirmed by Gizmodo, the flaw also affects iPod Touch owners. Specifically, users simply tap the "Emergency Call" button on the password-entry screen, and then tap the home button twice.

Doing this will allow the person to have access to a user's favorites and a list of contacts. Clicking on any contact's name will reveal the person's phone number and will have access to the phone function -- i.e. clicking on the e-mail function will let the person send an e-mail to the contact.

While Apple works on an official patch to fix the issue, iPhone or Touch owners can go into the settings and change it so a double click on the home button will go back to the home screen instead of the favorites section.
