If that were the only problem I would agree but it goes beyond that. The article quotes

"This kind of attack could also be used to commit fraud, according to Laurie. For example, an attacker could force victims' phones to dial a phone service that bills the victim per call or per minute.
Increasingly, "phones are being used as portable data stores" for information such as passwords, PIN numbers, and other sensitive data, Laurie added--another danger if a phone can be hacked. The key word here is "sensitive data". If it would be just directed at phones numbers then we could ignore the problem but someone who is head of security at a major hard drive company brought this up because the general public is asleep regarding the issue.
