Secure Your iPhone: What's in that data file?

If you've hacked your iPhone for disk access, have you ever peeked at the dynamic-text.dat file in /var/root/Library/Keyboard? You might be surprised at the contents. All your personal words that don't show up in the default dictionary get stored in this file. If you're using a business iPhone, you may want to especially monitor this file. It's not a keylogger but there's a lot of personal data that ends up there.

Thanks NerveGas

Update: Yes, this does include passwords and yes, they are stored in clear text.
