iPhone, Safari, IE8 and Firefox fail security test

A non-jailbroken iPhone, Safari running on Snow Leopard and Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox on Windows 7 were no match for security analysts at the annual Pwn2Own contest at the CanSecWest security show, where none of them stood up to the test, having being hacked and fully compromised without even having physical access to the machine. This just goes to show how “secure” your machine is, no matter which platform you’re on, if it is the target of the right hacker. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, eh?
