Early iPhone adopters have been wondering if the steady stream of bugs (and subsequent patches) has an end in sight. It turns out that but another bug has recently been discovered, this one centered on a user's inability to password protect their phone. Potential snoopers discovered that it was quite effortless to skip the password screen and could access contacts, browse the Web, read e-mail, and even make calls!

Even under password protection, the iPhone (wisely) allowed for the placement of emergency calls in the event that the phone was picked up in a crisis or the user was in a situation that didn't allow sufficient time for password input to call for help. The problem lies in the fact that by double-clicking the Home key while in the Emergency Call screen, the iPhone defaults to the Favorites menu, which gives anyone full access to the data within the phone.

The simple way to close this gaping hole yourself is to change the double-click preferences for the iPhone Home button. Those who would rather wait for a more permanent software fix, take note that Apple acknowledges the security hole and is working on a software patch.
