Potentially, any device handling data can become the target of a malicious application. The effort to access those data is directly related to their “value” (SSN, CCN, e-mail addresses, etc). The popular iPhone produced by Apple has not escaped this problem.

According to The Register, an iPhone owner and gamer filled a complaint against a major game development company for leaking users’ cell numbers without their permission. It seems that it’s not the first time that this company was accused to handle users data in the wrong way.
