It must be Mac Hacking day because here's another Apple exploit hot off the presses. Some other hackers have found an exploit in the Safari browser on the iPhone. A hacker could throw a website up with the evil code that will give them full access to an iPhone.

This lets them do things like record the audio from the room the iPhone is in, see the text messages sent, check search history in the browser and Google Maps, and more.

Instead of making a worm and not telling Apple, these folks have notified Apple and will help them fix it. They also believe that the worm also affects the PC and Mac version of Apple's Safari browser.

Video of the exploit in action after the jump.
