Crack a Locked iPhone in Three Taps

“A security flaw in Apple’s iPhone allows unauthorized users to gain easy access to private contacts and e-mails even when the device is locked, but the company said a fix is on the way.

“Popular technology blog Gizmodo and an online forum run by the Mac Rumors site showed that it took only three taps to gain access to locked iPhones, which run the latest 2.02 iPhone software.

“A spokeswoman said in an e-mail that Apple was aware of the problem and was readying a software update to fix it. In the meantime, she recommended users set the iPhone’s ‘Home’ button to open up the phone’s iPod music collection rather than the phone’s ‘Favorites’ menu.
