Submission + - iPhone Privacy Issues (seriot.ch)

Submitted by Ardisson
Ardisson writes: Swiss iPhone developer Nicolas Seriot presented last night a talk on iPhone Privacy in Geneva. He showed how a malicious application could harvest personal data on a non jailbroken iPhone and without using private APIs.
