With the iPhone just a few weeks old, the first security issue has appeared. It’s not a virus, a worm, or a Trojan horse, but a weakness in the iPhone’s Web dialing feature. As Macworld reports, this feature can be exploited, causing iPhone users to unknowingly dial expensive phone numbers (such as 900 numbers) or continuously dial certain numbers. While you’d have to visit a malicious web site for this to occur, it’s best to turn off this feature, since you could land on a malicious web site without knowing. Just dial your numbers manually. After all, that’s easy enough to do with just a few taps.
