Comment on IOS 6.1 hack lets users see your phone app, place calls

Comments

I really don't see what all the fuss is about. It's not like my address book has anything particularly private in it.

Well as long as it doesn't affect nwh, I don't see what all those business people, journalists and activists are worried about.

Investigative journalists have an address book and call history that is hugely valuable to certain people/companies.

Want to know which employee leaked your super-secret info to a reporter? Arrange for his/her phone to be stolen as they walk down the street chatting on it. Then it's just a quesion of how fast they can remote-wipe it...
