so you have to physically connect an altered cable to the phone to get "access"....doesnt really seem to big of a deal to me. its not a software hack which would really be more of a worry to the general public
You may want to re-read that. The cable connection ws used whilst deveoping the hack, but is not required now that hte hack has been released.
from the articleDoes that mean an attacker has to have physical access to the iPhone he wants to exploit?
No. That's only for development of the exploit. It makes development of the exploit easier. It makes it far easier to do the exploit.
I take security seriously. That's why I would never buy a device for one of the less secure platforms (Apple & Android). BlackBerry is most secure.
