After finding this great iPhone-in-a-box hack, I would have to say that this indeed is one of the most creative hacks (attacks?) that I have seen in 2008.

What's your favorite and why?

My favorite security hack of 2008 is definitely going to have to be DSHOCKER's swatting spree. He used telecom software to hide his info, and called in hostage situations to swat teams of random places everywhere. People were being woken up in the middle of the night by a swat team in their bedroom asking where "random child" is. Swatting is just insane.
