iPhone frenzy will tempt hackers to break Apple's security.
With so many people anxiously holding their breath while simultaneously counting their pennies till Apple's iPhone ships this week, some researchers −− and probably many IT managers −− are wondering how secure this latest smart phone is going to be.
