tacit, I'm wondering if you missed the question I posed in my original response to this post, namely, which, if any, of your three "how-they-do-its" is of the nature that it can be prevented by an existing or future Apple Security Update?

Or, on the other hand, are they all simply "user beware" type threats?

(I'm trying to put your post into perspective with the rest of the discussion.)

Thanks.


Edit: This was originally a response to tacit's reply in "iPad" (the same "<excellent post> by tacit" that Hal referred to in his opening post of this cyber security thread).
