Full FeediPhone 2.0 security risk?
Well, we’re not even a couple hours into it, and already we’ve received a tip about a potential security risk with the new iPhone 2.0 firmware. The update enables the Exchange features on the iPhone. Without seeking any approval from the company at which he works, our informant was able to hook the iPhone up to the corporate network’s Exchange service.
This could be great for the employee, but it’s definitely not a good thing for the company to have people bringing unauthorized devices onto the Exchange service. Whether this proves to be a legit risk that Apple will have to address or is something that can be easily averted on the IT end, I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough.

If a company is so unsecure that they are using Exchange out of the box and not disabling unneeded features such as this, then the iPhone is the least of their issues.
