Fraunhofer SIT Researchers Steal iPhone Passwords In Six Minutes [video]

Losing your smarpthone is bad enough. But if you lose your iPhone and don’t issue a remote wipe command (available for free with the Find My iPhone app) then you could find yourself in a world of hurt. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute Secure Information Technology (Fraunhofer SIT) can jailbreak and decrypt passwords from the iPhone’s keychain — for say, your Gmail account, corporate VPN, home WiFi, and MS Exchange — in about six minutes using existing, known exploits. Sorry kids, your flimsy lockscreen passcode won’t help.

Video proof, after the jump…
