A new hack has been found which uses FlashSMS to gain access to your data - and potentially your company's data. Here's some information on it:

I was contacted earlier this week by people who had Flash SMS’s to their iPhones with some very scary words. During the remainder of this week I have been exposed to numerous more phones, including one in Florida, who have had sensitive information flashed up to the screen.
