Will the SMS epidemic start tonight?
Experts warn that if today after 20:00 you receive a strange SMS from one character to your iPhone, it is better to turn off the device.
Today, the entire hacker community has been waiting with particular impatience. Personally, I, too, a month and a half ago put a mark on my date in my calendar. It is on July 30 in the evening Moscow time at the Black Hat hacker conference that the most famous iPhone hacker Charlie Miller promises to publish a universal SMS exploit that can be used to remotely hack any iPhone. Until the disclosure of information remained a matter of hours.
Six weeks ago, Charlie Miller officially warned Apple about upcoming events, but she was unable to close the hole at the right time. So today, after about 20:00, a global viral pandemic may start in the world on iPhone phones (in Android and Windows Mobile, this hole is already closed).

According to preliminary information, through the unclosed hole in the iPhone, you can activate any functionality through invisible SMS, including launching the opening of certain pages in the browser, turning on the microphone and camera, and, most importantly, further sending malicious SMS.
