Re: Iphone not the only one vulnerable to SMS hack. Windows Mobile is vulnerable too.

Well I already have such a solution personally, but I was hoping there may be discussion on ways to actually patch the hole if that is possible.

I think we all realize today the probability it low, but I doubt it will remain that way. (I don't even have the SMS filtering for the security package I have enabled.) Spammers seem to get phone numbers, bad hackers could send various messages if using a drone to send messages and I don't see anything in the Black Hat presentation paper that notes any version of WM handles the problem any differently.

Of course, if nobody cares to place any priority on the problem, MS won't bother fixing it and it just leaves the door open. Anyway, like I said, I've got a package I can enable if needed, but I'd like to see the hole patched.
