iPhone & 'Droid Phones Hacked
#11
One thing I've learned in IT is never assume something cannot be hacked. I believe anything can be hacked if there is enough incentive. Apple computer users fall for that trap all the time. For a while they were relatively safe because the Mac OSs didn't have enough market share to justify the effort. Now that Apple has a much larger portion of the PC market, the OSs are getting exposed. It's possible that there just isn't enough market share to justify large scale hacking of the OS.
DOD computer systems have been hacked in the past. If they can hack those they can hack just about anything. I will never believe that something cannot be hacked. Especially something at is always connected to the Internet. No offense but I'm not going to be convinced that something can't be hacked, especially with my background.

It's not just the hacking issue that keeps me from buying a windows phone. It's the reliability. We all know how horrible Windows has been for having bugs and reliability issues. And each new update just brings you new issues to deal with.
I'll take a Blackberry or iphone over a Windows phone any day.

Here's something to think about, if you use bluetooth on your phone, your susceptible to the phone being compromised without you even knowing it.
A friend of mine had Internet Security classes and he did it to me when I was at his house one day. He pulled up my recent calls, texts, phone book,etc. While I was in the middle of a phone call.
Scary what people are capable of
