A security flaw has been discovered in Microsoft's Windows Phone OS
which allows hackers to disable a handset's messaging system by SMS.
A malicious text can be sent which stops the SMS service from working,
WinRumours reports. A factory reset is the only way to remedy the issue.
Although the SMS content is hidden from view, the hack can be seen in
the video below, where it reboots the device and cuts access to the
messaging hub. It can also be triggered by sending a Facebook chat or
Windows Live Messenger message.
