A new video circulating outlines a major security flaw in the Apple iPhone 3G. It is a deceptively simple flaw which seems slightly outrageous that Apple would have missed it.

By using the Emergency Call function you can access your Favorites list and full private contact information and then from there even access Safari for web browsing.

This has been alarming for many iPhone users and rightly so. Apple claims to be remedying this issue with the next firmware update, but there is not date on that release. Hopefully they’ll be quick to resolve the issue as this makes major security breaches a huge risk for all viewers.

For a preliminary measure you can take the following steps to prevent this breach from happening:

1. In the iPhone home, go to Settings.
2. Click on General.
3. Click on Home Button.
4. Click on either “Home” or “iPod”.

This takes away the quick access to your favorites page, but also stops anyone from getting access to contact information and full use of your phone.
