Charming.
Apple has endowed iPhones with undocumented functions that allow
unauthorized people in privileged positions to wirelessly connect and
harvest pictures, text messages, and other sensitive data without
entering a password or PIN, a forensic scientist warned over the weekend.
...Zdziarski said the service that raises the most concern is known as com.apple.mobile.file_relay. It
dishes out a staggering amount of data—including account data for
e-mail, Twitter, iCloud, and other services, a full copy of the address
book including deleted entries, the user cache folder, logs of
geographic positions, and a complete dump of the user photo album—all
without requiring a backup password to be entered. ...
By the way, when you "paired" your iPhone with your car, the data-thief who wants to can use the car as its mode-of-stealing.
