...A flaw in the iPhone software that handles text messages leaves open the possibility that a keen hacker could impersonate someone else, like a loved one, or your bank, if that info is on your phone.
...This flaw was revealed by a french hacker, who specializes in "apple security" specialist.
...This means, that the text can seem like it does come fro someone that you trust. Like your bank.
...The User Data Header can be copied and hide who it is really from. Most phone companies do not track the headers, which means that it is easy to hack and copy.
...Which means that your message from your bank, can be from a hacker.
...This hacker asked that apple address this issue with the next update due in mid September.
