It hasn’t been out a month but already a serious security flaw has been discovered in the iPhone.

The flaw will allow a hacker to take control of your phone, and receive copies of text messages you have sent/received, files stored on your phone, contact information and more.

So how does your iPhone get hacked? According to Independent Security Evaluators (researches that discovered the flaw)there is a flaw in the wi-fi portion of the phone and the browser, meaning you can simply visit a website with malicious code targeting the iPhone or connect to a wireless network which contains the malicious script.

So far there are not any reports of iPhones being hacked, and Apple says they are investigating the claim of the flaw.
